Scenes of adoration

Part of a false-niche preserving four scenes in as many registers. Each register is separated by a fillet. The first is decorated with a row of ogival upright leaf-and-dart; the second possibly with a row of trifid calices, alternating vertical and reverse, separate; the third with a row of tangential pearls. The back face shows vertical marks of chisel. The lower register preserves the outline of a head and a plain nimbus with flaming edge, belonging to a buddha sitting in padmāsana. The second register shows a buddha and devotees. The buddha is sitting on a seat with molded cornice. His feet are covered by the saṃghāti. He has a plain nimbus. Branches of an indistinct tree are spreading from both its sides. Male devotees are standing with joined hands towards him. They all wear a paridhāna and an uttarīya. The third register depicts the Adoration of the Turban. The turban is resting on a throne with turned legs, a drape decorated with four vertical bands, and a fly-whisk on each side. The turban is of the skull-cap type, with zones, a fantail, and a globular diadem placed on short, superimposed bands. On both sides, male devotees are standing with joined hands towards it. They all are dressed in a paridhāna and an uttarīya. On the extreme right, the outline of a kneeling figure with joined hands appears to be discernible. The fourth and last register displays the Adoration of the Alms-Bowl. The bowl is set on a throne with turned legs and a drape. Male devotees identical to the previous ones are standing towards it.
