Pawaya is famous as well for its sculptural wealth, of which the images of \*yakṣa\* Maṇibhadra, of the 1st or 2nd century A.D. or perhaps earlier, and of a Nāga king are the most remarkable. It has also yielded a few capitals, including a palm capital of the 1st century B C associated with Saṁkarṣaṇa (Banerjea, 1956). The terracottas depict both secular and non-secular subjects.
