Buddha

Fragment of a harmikā with the remnants of the vertical through-hole and preserving the half-bust of a buddha sitting between two pillars on one face. The other faces show remains of identical pillars suggesting that the adjacent figurative fields originally bore the same depictions. The cornice is decorated by a row of saw-teeth surmounted by a projecting plain listel. The corners are marked by angular Gandharan-Corinthian pillars with vertical groove on the shaft. The buddha is wrapped in the overrobe. He has a not-separate uṣṇīṣa. He sits under a tree, of which two branches are visible falling from the cornice.
