This drastic change was most apparent under the Gupta rule that emphasized the images to be more enlightened ones. This museum is one of the finest among the museums in Mathura and the most extraordinary thing that one can see being in this government Museum in Mathura is the headless figure of Kanishka which is dressed in the central Asian outfit with the large boots and has a sword and sheath in both the hands. The massive number of terracotta pieces includes archaic mother goddesses, plaques from the Sunga period and lots of images that date back to the Kushana and Gupta period. All these things show how and at what pace the Mathura school reached its pinnacle in the 5th century AD.
