The book, ‘’The Terracottas of Bihar, is the first authoritative account of the terracotta finds from this country. It deals with the history of development of terracotta art and its reflection on the then existing culture, religion and civilization from the pre- Mauryan, Sunga, Kushan, Gupta and Pala periods. The book not merely gives an account of the terracotta figurines, their art and history, but also the strata from where these were collected. This is the first attempt of its kind as it gives a stamp on the indigenousness of the finds without which the entire narration loses its authenticity. The terracottas described in this book cover all the places from Bihar, such as, patliputra, Kumhrar, Bulandibagh, Basarh, Antichak, Vikramshila, Orlup, Balrajgarh, Naulagarh, Jayamanglagarh, Nalanda and Rajgir. A new feature of the book is the inclusion of the chapter on chemical analyses of the terracotta figurines and their co-relation with historical periods so as to establish the true chronology of the various finds. In this respect, the book excels all previous accounts on Terracotta finds.
