Buddhas

A relief depicting a row of sitting buddhas. The base features a decorated moulding with two plain rebated fillets. The lower band is decorated with an intermediate element. The torus bears a straight festoon. The cornice consists of two superimposed fillets, the lower one is plain, and the upper one shows a row of bead-and-reel. Two rectangular sockets are carved on the top face. Vertical tool marks can be seen on the back face. The buddhas are sitting on a low seat and are depicted alternating in dhyāna and abhayamudrā. The figures are wrapped in the overrobe, those in the gesture of meditation have hands and feet covered. Their hair is parted in the middle with continuous, vertical waves from a peak over the forehead. The uṣṇīṣa is not separate. The figures are divided by a tree with a compact crown and upwards branches.
