Bodhisattva and donors, Unidentified scene

Part of a panel depicting narrative scenes. There are some scattered toolmarks on the back side. Some parallel small chisel marks are also visible in the central part of the bottom side. To both ends of the top side there is a socket for cramp. The base is a plain fillet, the cornice depicts a row of upright ogival leaf-and-darts. The scene on the right depicts a bodhisattva seated on a canopied throne. His right hand is in a gesture of reassurance (abhayamudra), while he holds a kamaṇḍalu in his left. To each of his sides stands a devotee – a female on the right and a male on the left – holding an oblong garland in the right and a globular object in the left. The female donor wears a sarī, a long necklace and earrings. Her hair is pulled up and has a large ornament on the proper left side of the head. The male donor wears a long tunic and is wrapped in a mantle. He also wears large globular earrings and probably a necklace. Of the next scene only remain one complete male figure standing in three quarter right profile. He holds a fly wisk in his right hand and holds a turban in his lap with the left. He wears paridhāna, uttarīya and jewellery. His hair is pulled up in a central bun. The next, partially preserved figure, is a bodhisattva in pensive position. He seems to have a scarf arching around his shoulder inflated by the wind. Behind him, on both sides of his head there is a branch of lanceolate leaves. The scenes are separated by a pilaster of Gandharan-Corinthian type with a buddha against the shaft. The buddha is sitting in dhyānamudrā and padmāsana over an open lotus with reverse petal. He is wrapped in the saṃghāti with covered hands and feet. The nimbus is plain.
