The theory of early mathura buddha sculpture (explained at former chapter)
was innovating in the gupta-age(5th-century) within the interpretation
by masters of new schools. The same new method was chosen by the latter
mathura-school and the sarnath-school. Those had became two main streams
in the gupta-age. The content of innovation will be understood particularly
by next analysing photograph. The cause that this sculpture belongs highest
historical class of art will becomes evidently by confirming details of
this synchronizing.

Vertical connection of units of the shape of flower
The basic construction regulating sculptures in the gupta-age cleared from
the sculpture of Jamalpur is the method to connect vertically units of
the shape of flower (the composition of 3 step diminishing). This is the
content guided by reading progress of pre-theory. This moment realized
the way to design the larger and delicate standing buddha upon a succession
of the concept <the shape of flower>.
a unit for connection
(3 step diminishing of a unit of shape of flower)
The construction connecting the shape of
flower
This figure is constructed by a vertical connection of 3 units. 2 units
turned at a 180 degrees of angle are connecting with a upside and a bottom
of a center unit. Setting commons of part circles (a upside concentric
circles or Two circles of a bottom).

The halo
It was confirmed that circles of the halo are according with concentric
circles of the gauge. Not only circles, It is understood that many cross
points are deciding details of the halo exactly. Also the regulation all
over the sculpture is receiving the gauge perfectly. In the case of the
early mathura buddha sculptures the large center circle is according with
a halo. But the method was switched to the choice that halos received concentric
circles (occurred from process of diminishing units) in sculptures of the
gupta-age. Also the sarnath-school was the same.
