EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite limestone sculpture, dating back to the 1st-3rd century, depicts Ashoka, the renowned Mauryan Emperor of ancient India, seated next to his queen. Ashoka, a revered figure in Indian history, is best known for his promotion of Buddhism and the spread of its teachings throughout the subcontinent. The inscription on the base of the sculpture is written in the Brahmi script, an ancient Indian writing system, and confirms the identification of the figures. The intricate details of their clothing and ornaments reflect the rich cultural heritage of the time. This sculpture was discovered at Sannati, a site located in the Karnataka region of India, which was once part of the Satavahana Dynasty. The influence of the Satavahanas, who were known patrons of art and culture, is evident in the high quality of the carving. The serene expressions on the faces of Ashoka and his queen suggest a deep connection and mutual respect, highlighting the importance of the role of the queen in ancient Indian society. This masterpiece of Indian art, now preserved in the Collection of the Archaeological Survey of India, is a testament to the rich artistic and historical legacy of India.
