One can easily notice a free exchange of ideas in art between Gandhara and Kashmir in the masterpieces that have survived in the valley. The terracotta images from the land are well known and have attracted the attention of art-historians and the scholars in the allied disciplines from time to time and have always been praised for their fine workmanship and iconographic features. In the softer medium in plastic art, the terracotta art of the region also made a mark in history as the carved tiles from Harwan and terracotta figurines from Akhnoor occupy a distinguished place by themselves in the annals of Kashmir art. Painting too was well developed though not many early examples have survived to this day. However, the tradition of Kashmiri painting can be glimpsed in the illustrated manuscripts from the valley and other painted miniatures so beautifully done though belonging to somewhat later period outside the scope of this study. Through this research paper I will highlight the paining and terracotta art in Ancient Kashmir.
