A general Gallery should be added here to represent the sculptures or art which doesn't belong to specific school. 103.81.215.144 (talk) 07:58, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Inscribed shivling

[edit]

hey Johnbod(talk) Can you tell me why is my edit getting reverted. Why is this shivling not considered an art , when it is completely evolved form as compared to the kushan ones. Whats the difference between this or an inscribed buddha image? This artwork is immense for the chronological order for Gupta art. I would love to know what classifies as an art according to you. In your first edit summary you mentions only inscribed ones should be here, when I said it is , you reverted back again saying it is not an art . Isn't this just goalshifting to revert back my edit. 103.81.213.177 (talk) 03:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

My first edit summary was "only inscribed" - ie it is not carved with figures or patterns. Inscriptions of text alone are not visual art, or if they are, are not significant enough to illustrate in this very crowded article. In my opinion there are already too many images there that are insciptions as well as some decorative carving. I'm not saying this lingam is not important for Gupta history, but (at least the portion in the photo) is not important for art history. By the way, if you took the photo, please categorize it fully on Commons - Where was it taken etc. Johnbod (talk) 12:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
