Buddha and devotees

A harmikā showing a buddha and devotees on each side. All the scenes are encased by a pilaster of the Gandharan-Corinthian type with a short flute on the shaft. The base consists of a projecting plain band. The cornice is decorated with a row of upright ogival leaves. A circular hole for the pinnacle is pierced in the centre. Drawing lines and a Kharoṣṭhī mark can be seen on the bottom face. The buddha is sitting in padmāsana and dhyānamudrā on a low seat with a cushion. He is wrapped in the saṃghāti, which covers his hands and feet. He has round globular eyes. On both sides, a male devotee is standing in three-quarter view and with joined hands. These figures wear a paridhāna, an uttarīya, and possibly ring-shaped earrings.
