Buddha and male devotee

Part of a figured cornice depicting a buddha and devotee. The base consists of a plain fillet, the cornice of a projecting band decorated with a row of a row of bordered original leaf-and-dart. Vertical parallel tool marks run on the back of the relief. The proper right side has a rebated joint. The figured field shows a buddha and a devotee both under a round arch with carinated extrados and pendants. On the right, a buddha is sitting in padmāsana and dhyānamudrā. He is wrapped in the saṃghāti with covered hands and feet. On the right, a male devotee is crouching and turning towards the buddha. He has joined hands and wears a paridhāna, an uttarīya, and a turban. The left end of the cornice is marked by a vertical palmette, which is repeated also on the side. The figures are separated by a framed semi-column of the Gandharan-Corinthian type.
