In its latest phase the Deccani style developed two distinctive varieties—the first having the hollow square head-mark with angular forms, in Chhattīsgarh, and the second the broad solid rectangular head-mark with rounded forms, in Andhra. Both of these varieties survived, as far as we know, only up to the eighth century A.D. The only other region where this style had any effect is the Pallava kingdom, where a new style with angular features appeared.¹
