A panel from Mandor (near Jodhpur, Rajasthan), assigned to the eleventh century, depicts a Persian wheel (Gopal, 1980, pp. 114-68). It has a wheel with a chain of terracotta buckets. The wheel is presented in profile and the gearing mechanism would be on the other side. Hence it need not be a noria.
