(in English) (2020) Sarnath: A Critical History of the Place Where Buddhism Began, Getty Publications, p. 76 ISBN: 978-1-60606-616-4. Asher presents as a "copy of the Sarnath pillar" a photograph of the modern reconstruction at the Thai temple of Wat Umong [1], complete with the topmost wheel resting on the napes of lions. The Thai replica is mediocre, and the top wheel only has 24 spokes instead of the archaeologically-confirmed 32 spokes, but Asher thus confirms the general appearance of the original Sarnath capital and pillar according to modern scolarship.
