Summary edit

Description
English: This is a Gupta Empire era inscription from ancient India. Many important inscriptions have been discovered in Mandsaur, dated between 404 CE to 534 CE. These provide important historical information about the Aulikara dynasty, the Huna era, the culture, religious beliefs, social structure and social mobility in ancient India. Above is the Yashodharman Vishnuvarhana inscription in elegant Sanskrit. This is a photograph of a personal copy of plates published by John Fleet in 1888, with Inscriptions Of The Early Gupta Kings And Their Successors, as a part of the Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum series, Vol. 3. The inscriptions are 2-D art created in or before the 5th-century CE. The publication date of the photographic plates by Fleet (d. 1917) in 1888 makes the work qualify for the PD-Art-100-70 guidelines.
