Wealthy Merchant of the Gupta era (Saddalaputta)
Artisans of no matter what craft constituted a guild and most crafts had their guild as they offered great advantages. Leading guilds were those of potters, metal workers and carpenters. Their size can be gauged by the fact that even at an earlier period one wealthy potter named Saddalaputta had owned five hundred potters workshops. In addition, he had organized his own distribution and owned a large number of boats which took the pottery from the workshops to the various ports on the Ganges.
