Summary

Description
English: Ayagapata votive plate Kankali Tila


  • "Two ayagapatas, the Sihanamdika Ayagapata (fig. 21) and the Acala Ayagapata (fig. 22), hint at the beginnings of standardization and regularity in their carvings which suggest a further maturation of the sculptural style of the first century A.D. The ornamental carving of these two plaques is rendered in a more regular, almost mechanical mode, lacking the organic dynamism of the late first century B.C. or the delicacy of the early first century A.D. Tightness and elongation begin to modulate the form of the seated Jina in the center of the Sihanamdika Ayagapata (fig. 2I), indicating a new trend in figural style. However, they do retain the richness of textures and softness of carving that betray their pre-second century A.D. date, as they are not as refined and crisp in style as the early second century A.D. Kusana material datable to the reign of Kaniska (fig. 33)" Ayagapatas: Characteristics, Symbolism, and Chronology p.116
