Buddha and devotee

Upper left corner of a relief depicting buddha and devotee. On the top there is a small rectangular tenon and two vertical sockets, one of which is continuous and positioned at the centre of the extant surface. On the back there is a continuous vertical socket whose section is visible from the top. The scene was flanked by a corner pilaster of Gandharan-Corinthian type with a short flute on the shaft, whose side corresponds to the proper right side of the relief. The extant part of the scene depicts a buddha wrapped in his overrobe, arguably seated under a tree. He has the hair parted in middle with horizontal broken waves and separate uṣṇīṣa. To his right side there is a devotee in three quarter profile with hands joined in a gesture of veneration. He wears a tunic of exomis type, and has flowing hair pulled up with a side loop. Adjacent to the pilaster the scene is close by a tree with a crown with parted branches spreading upward and downward with lanceolate leaves.
