| Description / विवरण | |
| Description / विवरण | It is a trapezoidal-shaped architectural member with one circular-shaped shallow socket at its top surface. It has very interesting carvings of high-relief kirtimukha motifs along with beaded strings emerging from its mouth on the frontal side of the structure. The facial representations of the motifs include a big round face, closed bulging eyes, a broader nose, a big mouth, and teeth, which were very prominently depicted. The motifs have two pairs of two-lined beaded strings emerging from their mouths, again connected with a bell-like pattern carved next to the motif. The structure has three similar motifs and patterns which were carved along side in an alignment. It also has sharp inverted triangles carved in between the motifs. Above it there is floral scroll-like patterns carved in a row. The whole structure seems to be placed upside down. |
