Explanation
A: Pillars.
The best specimens of Mauryan art are represented by their pillars. The pillars of Ashoka are a series of columns dispersed throughout the northern Indian subcontinent, erect by the Mauryan king Ashoka during his reign in the 3rd century BCE. These pillars were constructed to spread the message of peace, nonviolence, and morality, and are also known for their remarkable craftsmanship and artistic beauty. The pillars are made of sandstone and range in height from 40 to 50 feet. They are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions in Brahmi script, which provide important historical and cultural information about the Mauryan empire.
