HYDERABAD, INDIA—A red earthenware pot with a silver container holding 11 miniature beads was discovered at the northeastern corner of the Mahastupa during restoration and conservation work in Phanigiri, a Buddhist center of learning. “The Buddhist findings are pertaining to the third century A.D. [This is] the first time we have a Buddhist cascade with material in it and this puts Phanigiri area as an important Buddhist heritage site,” BP Acharya, principal secretary of tourism, Telangana, told The New Indian Express. A Potin coin, made from an alloy of copper and lead in the third century, was also recovered from the site.
