Buddha

A projecting figured bracket depicting a standing buddha. The figure rests on a base consisting of a projecting plain fillet and a row of saw-teeth below, which continue on both sides where a framed net of oblique lines is also found. Part of a dovetail socket for wall is preserved. A rectangular tenon is found on the bottom face. A Kharoṣṭhī mason-mark is incised on the bedding surface for the superimposed cornice. The buddha is standing, the weight of his body is placed on the right leg and the left leg is slightly bent. The right hand was originally in abhayamudrā, the left hand is resting on the hip and is probably holding a hem of the overrobe. He wears the saṃghāti with a curved neckline. The drapery folds are rendered in pairs of incised lines. The nimbus is plain.
