One T.C. Plaque from Pāṭaliputra has a warrior aiming bow and arrow. A charioteer holds the animals. The scene depicts the wheel in motion. The ovaloid feature indicates the fast rotating wheel. The entire plaque is a unique representation interpreted as Lord Sūrya. A technologically similar model from Kauśāmbī (in conventional representation) has been found. These are probably datable to 1st century B.C.
