The Śuṅga and Kushan levels have eight structural phases, the use of baked brick (39 × 23 × 5·5 and 29 × 23 × 5·5 cm) being common. A covered drain, four-armed and two-armed hearths and a cistern, 50 × 43 × 20 cm, perhaps for offering oblations, are the other structural remains. The pottery is typical of the age: the bowl; lid-\*cum\*-bowl, lipped bowl with small spout; and pottery stamped with \*tri-ratna\*, and \*svastika\* designs. Terracotta human figurines with elaborate coiffure and jewellery including a couple in amorous pose and the goddess Vasudhārā, animal figurines of the horse and bull, toy carts, skin-rubbers \[18.4\], antimony rods \[18.1\], bangles of shell, glass, etc., a pottery’s stamp, coins of Mitra rulers of Mathura and beads of terracotta and shell and glass are the other finds. - [Previous: v2.c40.480](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.480) - [Next: v2.c40.482](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.482) - [Up: v2.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.481](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c40.481) · Pramāṇa
