| Description / विवरण | The right hand, the nose, the pedestal, and the halo of the image are damaged. The Buddha, with legs crossed, sits on a cushion. The edges of the samghati fall gracefully from the wrists (cf. Sahni, Catalogue of the Museum of Archeology at Sarnath Pl. X). The left hand is delicately modeled, but the torso is somewhat flat and block-like suggesting a date slightly later than the Sarnath images of A.D. 474 and 477 [Rosenfield, “The Dated Carvings at Sarnath,†Artibus Asiae. XXVI, 1 (1963), Figs. 1 and 2]. The pedestal is unusually high and severely damaged so that only the heads of the standing figures that were carved on the dado can be discerned. The circular halo, a fragment of which is visible behind the head, lacks the lotus scroll, being decorated with scallops and a row of beads. The back of the seat, the posts and crossbar of which are not shown, has rampant vyalas on either side, above which are makara heads with curling snouts, their paws resting on the vyalas’ heads. |
