Railing Pillar: Pauni, Bhandara Dist.Maharashtra 1st cent. B.C.
Sculpture Gallery
The archaeological collections were originally
started by pioneering archaeologists Sir Henry Cousens and Sir
John Marshall. Amongst the important sculptures may be mentioned
the Gupta period terracottas and bricks from Mirpurkhas excavated
by Cousens, a large number of Buddhist images from Gandhara and
ceiling panels from a dilapidated temple at Aihole.
The early examples from Maharashtra are represented by sculptures
from Pauni and Pitalkhora. Mumbai itself has a rich tradition
exemplified by a Shiva and a Matrika from a temple at Shivdi near
Parel belonging to the same phase as Elephanta. Other noteworthy
images from Maharashtra are a Vishnu and a Ganesha of the
eleventh century AD.
