Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

This period marked an imaginative and impressive step forward in Indian sculpting!. Although some would consider the Pillars of Ashoka as architecture, owing to their free standing nature and elaborately carved animal capitals we consider them here as examples of sculpture!.

These pillars were carved in fine buff coloured sandstone in the Chunar quarry near Varanasi!. They were given a fine polish characteristic of Mauryan sculpure!. These pillars were mainly erected in the Gangetic plains!. They were inscribed with edicts of Ashoka on Dhamma or righteousness!. The animal capital as a finely carved lifelike representation!. Noteworthy are the lion capital of Sarnath, the bull capital of Rampurva and the lion capital of Laurya Nandangarh!. Much speculation has been made about the similarity between these capitals and Achaemenid works!.

Sculptures like the Didarganj Yakshi may probably represent an exquisite example of Mauryan sculpture, though its age is debated!. Terracotta images of folk gods and goddesses have been found which have an earthy charm!. Ringstones probably associated with a fertility cult have also been found in some quantity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
