21. Before closing the discussions on the Kusana art in Mathura it may be useful to point out that sometimes the dated sculptures do not
correspond with the stylistic development for want of a specified era and this situation has given rise to various speculations. For the solution of the problem Van Lohuizen considers the omission of the digit of hundred and Rosenfield discounts 98. B. Mukherjee and G.S. Gai do not agree with these views, The present author also surveyed this controversy in detail in the light of the earlier discussions and some new finds. The complexity has to be studied in the light of inscriptional and stylistic evidence and also keeping in view the contemporary social, religious, political and economic factors. (Sharma, R.C.
