| These sculptures
give us some glimpse of the contemporary life of the people. But the diversities of scenes
of these sculptural depictions are so numerous that we have only pointed out a few
leading varieties.Of the sculptural, designs, we may mention the caitya-windows of two
different types on a lintel. One of these patterns is a trefoil in which all the three
arcs are of the same size, in the other the upper are is larger than the two arcs on the
sides*10. The interior of the sunken panel is entirely covered with geometrical patterns
with a half rosette in the center. In the
delineation of vegetable life the artist was in the height of his form. Combined with a
considerable amount of faithful representation and integrity there is an amount of
luxuriance of decoration and of picturesque arrangement. As floral In Deo Parbat there is a beautiful representation of a cluster of lotuses in full bloom and appears to be issuing from a pond. Another illustration from the same place exhibits a row of busts with hands holding lotuses; their patra-kundalas were also designed like full-blown lotuses.
