The core of the *stūpa* consists of a filling of earth with a large number of terracotta animal and human figurines [17] in the Śuṅga and Kushan idiom, a few punch-marked coins and cast copper coins [3.1], terracotta sealings [3.2] of the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. and iron objects. As the earth was brought from outside, obviously from a part of the habitation area to the s. of the *stūpa* where the resultant pond is still visible, the objects are understandably unstratified.
