Figures

Fragment of a relief, possibly a cornice, showing two buddhas – that on the right not fully preserved – each standing under a city door. They are separated by a framed pilaster of the Gandharan-Persepolitan type. The base of the cornice is plain, below which is a straight festoon. Of the buddha on the right, only the lower part of the body remains, while the city door preserves only the proper right volute with pendant element. That on the left is shown frontally, with the head turning to the right. The right hand is in abhayamudrā, and the left is holding an edge of the saṃghāti. The city door features a round arch, volutes, and pendant elements.
