…Most of the stone carvings are made of black basalt, and the dense quality of the stone allows for intricate workmanship. Bronze statues were also produced in Nalanda and Kurkihar, and a standing Buddha statue measuring approximately 230cm in height was excavated from Sultāngañj. Painting remains include miniature paintings that serve as illustrations for Buddhist scriptures.
