Buddha

A dividing element in the shape of a pilaster of the Gandharan-Corinthian type carved with a buddha against the shaft. The moulded base was plain. The framing was decorated with trifid calices, alternating vertical and reverse, traces of which can still be seen on the upper section. The bottom face shows a rectangular tenon. Vertical drawing lines are found on the left face. The buddha is standing frontally. His right hand is in abhayamudrā, the left is holding an edge of the saṃghāti. The overrobe has a V-shaped neckline. The head features a low and flat uṣṇīṣa and is surrounded by a nimbus with plain border.
