This circular relic casket, carved from fine steatite and featuring a low domed lid with a pointed knob and a shallow recessed base, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the Mauryan period. Its smooth finish and balanced proportions reflect the artistic precision and devotion. Once enshrining sacred gems and jewels dedicated to Śākyamuni Buddha, the casket stands as a symbol of reverence and the profound spiritual heritage of the Buddhist faith.
