Ter has given a large number of terracotta and kaolin figurines, beads of semiprecious stones, coins of the Sātavāhanas and the Kṣatrapas, coin and jewellery moulds, shell amulets and decorated handles and range of ancient ceramics like the NPBW [11.16] and the Red Polished Ware [11.23] besides scores of bullae [6.4]. The figurines are all executed in double moulds and are remarkable for the range of coiffure and ornaments. They are representative of Sātavāhana portraiture with round face, chubby cheeks, thick lower lip, broad nose and plumpness.
