The other terracotta objects are animal figurines of the horse, bull, birds and rider with kulah cap; skin-rubbers [18.4]; spindle whorls [6.25] with decorated edges; beads of areca-nut shape; a votive tank [12.11]; and moulds of the Śuṅga and Gupta periods for producing human figurines. An ivory die [6.7.1] and several bone points have also been recovered. All the terracotta figurines and other objects except the stone sculptures recall similar finds from AHICCHATRĀ (Agrawala, 1947-8), HASTINĀPURA (Lal, 1954 and 1955) and KAUŚĀMBĪ (Sharma, 1960, 1969).
