Abstract: | It is conventionally accepted that the earliest examples of three-dimensional images in Sri Lanka date back to the early centuries of the first millennium CE. The Buddha statues are considered the earliest sculptures ever made in the country. The archaeological fieldwork of the last five decades has expanded the chronological boundaries of the history of image-making in Sri Lanka. This article reviews two such three-dimensional figures of prehistoric origin. The sculptures discussed were recovered from the area around the central highlands. |
