century B.C. various types of stones like, marble, soapstone, sand stone are utilized
by craftsmen in India. Stone craft in India is not only limited to ornate
carvings on temples or sculptures of deities, but it is also used in creating things
like carved panels, tiles, paper weights, pen stands, models of ancient structures,
sculptures of animals and humans etc. The primary design is traced on the stone

items are polished.
