Yakṣī

Dividing element carved with a yakṣī of the śālabhañjikā type encased within a frame. On the bottom face, a rectangular tenon is visible while a rectangular socket of the same size is preserved. The yakṣī is standing on a plain low squared plinth, the right leg is crossed in front of the other. The left hand rests on the out-thrust hip, while the right holds the branch of a tree. The latter has wavy branches on two opposite sides, with lanceolate leaves. Her head is slightly tilted to her left. The yakṣī’s hair is pulled up and she wears a wreath. Her ornaments include globular earrings, long necklace, bracelets, and anklets. She is dressed in a short tunic and a scarf passing over both arms and behind her shoulders; the drapery folds are defined by narrow parallel grooves.
