Another important discovery was a \*stūpa\*, originally of mud but later on encased in brick, which has been taken to be the one built over the corporeal relics of the Buddha by the Licchavis. The \*stūpa\* had been opened up at an early date and renovated and enlarged more than once, being buttressed with brick and brickbats in the 1st century A.D. A soapstone casket \[18.2\] containing ashy earth, a small conch-shell, two small glass beads, a bit of gold leaf and a copper punch-marked coin are the other finds.
