Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Gupta period, India was renowned for its fine cotton textiles, intricate ivory carvings, and high-quality metalwork, which were in demand both domestically and in international markets, including Rome, Southeast Asia, and China. Silk, spices, and porcelain were more closely associated with China and the Silk Road trade. Slaves, sugar, and lapis lazuli were not primary exports of Gupta India. Cattle, blue dye, and sandalwood, while valuable, do not capture the full scope of Gupta exports as well as cotton cloth, ivory, and metalwork do. Religious implements, incense, and paraffin were not the main items of trade during this period.
