Summary

Description
English: Mathura Herakles. Hercules strangling the Nemaean lion. "As this group could not have been made for the use of the Hindus, whether Brahmans or Buddhists, I conclude with very great probability that it must have been sculptured by some foreign artist for the use of the Greeks resident of Mathura." 'Report of a tour in the Central Provinces and Lower Gangetic Doab in 1881-82' (A.S.I. vol. XVII, Calcutta, 1884), p. 109.
