The present monograph makes an analytical and exhaustive study of different iconic representations appearing in numerous terracotta plaques and also in uninscribed and inscribed seals (carrying legends in Brahmi Kharoshti and/or a mixed script called Kharoshti Brahmi) besides a number of artifacts in stone ivory and wood found in ancient Vanga that included within its limits the lower West Bengal and the coastal zone of Bangladesh upto the mouth of the Padma or rather the joint streams of the Padma Meghna and Brahmaputra.
