From the surface finds and the nature of the ruins it is clear that Chandraketugarh represents an early historical urban settlement [4.18.15] continuing down to later times. Terracotta figurines of exquisite beauty, toy carts drawn by various animals, some perhaps representing the vehicles of deities, plaques depicting Jātaka and *Pañcatantra* stories, hoards of silver punch-marked coins [3.1] and Kushan and Gupta coins, early historical seals and sealings [3.2], some with undeciphered legends, beads and other antiquities have enriched the galleries of the Indian Museum, Asutosh Museum, Museum and Art Gallery of the W. Bengal Directorate of Arch., Burdwan Univ. Museum, etc.
