An interesting example of the bronze art is provided by a figure of a Brāhmaṇa, wearing the sacred thread (\*yajñopavīta\*) on the body and turban of the head. Characteristic shapes in red ware that came into vogue now are: the flattish cooking pan with lugged or looped handle; lid with ‘inkpot’ type holder \[20.2\]; bowl with slightly incurved pointed rim; carinated cooking pot (\*hāṇḍī\*) with externally beaked rim; tumbler, often with constricted waist and sagger base below carinated lower profile; and the long-necked hole-mouthed sprinkler. Some of the sophisticated pedestalled cups suggest Greek influence, as seen in similar pottery at Taxila. - [Previous: v2.c44.491](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.491) - [Next: v2.c44.493](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.493) - [Up: v2.c44](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.492](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c44.492) · Pramāṇa
