As the discovered lion head artefact symbolizes the Mauryan royal palace 
structure, the superintending archaeologist was hopeful of discovering 
some more ancient sculptures which would, in all likelihood, prove the 
existence of a royal palace of ancient Pataliputra.

"Archaeologists could then throw fresh light on ancient Pataliputra," 
Mishra said adding the remains of the royal palace of ancient 
Pataliputra had been found for the first time in the northern side of 
modern Patna.

"To date, we have found ancient remains of palaces in state capital's 
localities like Kumhrar and Lohanipur."
