Explorations and small-scale excavations have so far given a variety of antiquities of the Sātavāhana period. Of these the most publicized antiquity is the ivory figurine of a woman, about 8 cm in height and possibly used as the handle of a mirror [18.5]. Compared to the famous Pompeii ivory the Ter specimen appears to be somewhat later, say the end of 1st century A.D. (Barrett, 1960).
