Polish on Bharhut remains in the Kolkata Museum

The Bharhut remains in the Kolkata Museum have a dark brown shiny polish, that makes it hard to get good photographs. This polish, apparently some chemical substance, was not there when the sandstone remains were excavated, as you can see from the photos of the excavation. The polish many have darkened with time. Are there any records that show what is the material applied and if it can be removed?

Bharhut-stupa panel in the Freer Gallery

Incidentally this polish is not there in the panel in the Freer Gallery of Art.

"Shungas are known to have been Hindu monarchs"

The word "Hindu", was unknown in India then. I have not come across the use of term "Hindu" with a meaning with the exclusion of Buddhists (and Jains) before the late 19th century British census, and the definition given by Bal Gangadhar Tilak. It appears that the concept of religions being mutually exclusive and mutually incompatible was not common in ancient India.Malaiya (talk) 23:46, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
