Summary
| Description |
English:  Yaksha from Parkham Mathura, 3rd-2nd century. Mathura Museum. According to "A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India: From the Stone Age to the 12 the century" by Upinder Singh p.365, the statue is 2.59 meters high, on stylistic grounds it should be dated to the 2nd/1st century BC, but an inscription in Brahmi suggest a 3rd century BC date. The inscription says "Made by Gomitaka, a pupil of Kunika. Set up by eight brothers, members of the Manibhadra congregation ("puga")." This inscription thus indicates that the statue represents the Yaksa Manibhadra.[1]. The script of the inscription is Mauryan Brahmi.EI8 p.174  |
