However the \*stūpa\* built on Buddha’s relics at VAIŚĀLĪ \[2.8\] was a small one of mud. Whether the cities had special quarters or lanes for particular groups of artisans or not (as the \*Jātakas\* do suggest for Varanasi), one cannot miss the significance of the discovery of a large number (more than a dozen) of jeweller’s stone moulds from the early NBPW strata in one small trench at CAMPĀ, famous for its jewellery in early Buddhist and Jaina literature. - [Previous: v1.c9.s18.t1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t1.2) - [Next: v1.c9.s18.t1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t1.4) - [Up: v1.c9.s18.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t1) ## Cites (2) - [Vaiśālī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.vaisali) - [Sonpur](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.sonpur) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s18.t1.3) · Pramāṇa
