Buddha and devotees; male figures

Part of a frieze relief with two superimposed registers, the lower one showing the buddha and devotee and the remains of another scene, the upper one a row of male figures. The registers are separated by a festoon between two plain fillets. The base is plain. The cornice is decorated with a row of upright ogival leaf-and-dart (?) between two plain fillets. Two nail holes were drilled in the relief surface, one in the bottom centre of the low register, the other in the left-proper upper corner of the same. The top and bottom faces show tool marks. The scene on the lower register displays a buddha and devotees. The buddha is sitting in padmāsana on a moulded seat. His right hand was in abhayamudrā. His left hand held an edge of the saṃghāti. He has a plain nimbus surrounded by an umbrella-shaped tree crown. On both sides are two male devotees, one kneeling in the foreground (the one on the left is defaced) and the other standing in the background. They all have joined hands and wear a paridhāna, an uttarīya, and a turban. On the left was another scene, of which only a monk standing in the left profile and the branches of a tree remain. The two scenes are separated by a framed half-column of Gandharan-Corinthian type. The upper register displays five paired male figures and a freestanding one. The first couple shows two symmetric figures holding a cloth in one hand; the other is on the hip. The first figure of the following couple is similar to the previous ones, while the second figure has joined hands. The freestanding figure carries a cloth in the right hand; the left hand is on the hip. A branch spreading upwards and downwards defines the scene on the left.
