However the habitational deposits of this Pd have been subjected to such extensive spoilage that the ceramics and antiquities have got mixed up with those of the preceding Pd, as a result of which a clear picture has not emerged. Fragmentary stone walls and damaged floors are the only structural remains of this Pd. The ceramic industries are represented by plain and unslipped red, grey and deep-black wares. The carinated vessel, lid-\*cum\*-bowl, cup, dish, wide-mouthed heavy-rimmed jar, vase and \*loṭā\* are amongst some of the popular shapes. The vase in deep-black ware with grooved patterns and stamped designs around the neck but above the shoulder recalls typical examples from the medieval period of MASKI. The red ware is often painted in white pigment. The other material remains are not many. Three medieval copper coins are amongst the important antiquities, besides a stone plaque of Lakulīśa, an image of Gaṇeśa in stone and a broken piece of halo in red sandstone carved with lotus design of the border. A cache of ill-baked terracotta animal figurines such as the bull, horse, bear (?) and ram and a few exotic play things have been recovered from this level. - [Previous: v2.c45.378](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.378) - [Next: v2.c45.380](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.380) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) ## Cites (1) - [Maski](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.maski) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.379](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.379) · Pramāṇa
