A variety of terracotta objects was obtained from excavation at Nasik. These include skin-rubbers, toys, figures, stoppers, wheels, crucible, stūpas and tiles. Most of these belonged to Period II. Among all these things our point of interest is terracotta crucible. Four terracotta crucibles with a blackish glossy enamel over both the inner and the outer surface were found. Out of the four, two are smaller and intact, and the other two bigger but broken. One belongs to Period IIA, one to IIB and the other two to Periods II-IV.
