The Mauryan type is represented by two figurines of which one is standing full figure and the other is preserved up to the neck. Both bear stamped decorative necklaces; one has in addition ear ornaments designed in the shape of flower. The Kushan specimens are found in typical ‘realistic’ modelling, one with a fan-shaped head-dress with deep vertical incisions and bulging eyes and the other a standing male figure with features akin to the \*nāga\* type found in other Ganga valley sites \[17.1\]. Wheel carts with highly ornamented discs are of the Kushan type. The site continued to be occupied during the medieval times as revealed by glazed ceramics. - [Previous: v2.c34.241](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.241) - [Next: v2.c34.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.243) - [Up: v2.c34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.242](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c34.242) · Pramāṇa
