KAYATHA, Pd II, gives interesting material on what seems to have been cultic use of bull. Both naturalistic and stylized depictions are seen. The latter is in some specimens a minimal from abstracted to two horns and a hump. CHANDOLI and NEVASA have zoomorphic bottles resembling a bull. NAVDATOLI and PRAKASH have jars applied with animal figures including that of a tortoise. - [Previous: v1.c22.s1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c22.s1.4) - [Next: v1.c22.s1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c22.s1.6) - [Up: v1.c22.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c22.s1) ## Linked texts (5) - [Nevasa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nevasa) - [Navdatoli](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.navdatoli) - [Inamgaon](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.inamgaon) - [Kāyathā](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kayatha) - [Prakash](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.prakash) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c22.s1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c22.s1.5) · Pramāṇa
