In particular, the Bharhut carvings from the second century BC take the wheel of Dharma and the peepul tree to represent the Buddha and explain the religious art of Buddhism in the era before there were Buddha statues. These are among the Indian Museum's greatest treasures, important works which those interested in Buddhist art should not miss.
特別是來自西元前二世紀的巴戶特浮屠的雕刻，以法輪、菩提樹象徵佛陀，說明佛教在無佛像時期的宗教藝術理念，這可是印度博物館的鎮館之寶，也是研究佛教藝術不可錯過的重要作品。
