Adoration of the stūpa

Part of a relief depicting the adoration of the stūpa. There are large parallel vertical toolmarks on the back side. A nail hole cuts across the relief in the upper left corner. The panel includes three registers separated by plain fillets. The base is also a plain fillet, while the cornice is damaged and do not preserve any decoration. The lower register depicts a scene of adoration of the stūpa partially preserved. On the right we see a multi-storey stūpa raised on a square podium and topped by four umbrellas. To the right of the stūpa there are remnants of a devotee with joined hands. On the opposite side there are two more devotees in the same panel, then three more similar ones after a dividing element in the shape of an encased semi-column of Gandharan-Corinthian type. The devotees are all in three quarter profile toward the stūpa with hands joined in a gesture of veneration. They wear long garments, probably tunics. The central register is a wavy pipal scroll. In the uppermost, extremely damaged, register there was a row of busts set in an architecture.
