Buddha

A corner dividing element depicting on the front and left face a pilaster of the Gandharan-Corinthian type with a buddha against the shaft. The moulded base was plain, the cornice was possibly decorated with a row of dentils-and-bars with bars of the same height and smaller width. A vertical socket runs in the right face. A rectangular socket for cramp is carved in the top face. The top face shows a square tenon. The buddha on both shafts is shown sitting in padmāsana and dhyānamudrā on the pistil of an open lotus with stamen. The figure is wrapped in the overrobe with covered hands and feet. The saṃghāti has a curved neckline.
