Apart from *asoka*, we find four other trees depicted in these sculptures. In one of these we see a woman under a *kadamba* tree (*Anthocephalus chinensis*) (*A. indicus*), holding a sword touching its ball-like flowers. The broad ovate leaves, with conspicuously marked venation and globose inflorescence, are prominent characters of the *kadamba*, and they have been faithfully carved by the sculptor.
