Summary
| Description |
English: It is in the form of a stele which has a tenon at the base (originally fitted into an inverted lotus) and a conical shaft rising from the middle of the upper portion which probably was crowned by an umbrella. The stele is evidently intended to depict a pavillion where the Buddha was supposed to perform some miracle. The façade is elaborately decorated. There are some balconies with figures of women peeping out from compartments and a frieze of garland-bearers on the basement. The lion head is probably the fore-runner of the later kirttimukha motif. The Buddha is seated on a lotus. Above his head are two streamers and a twisted garland. There are replicas of temples at the two upper corners of the relief in which are two Buddhas seated in meditation on inverted lotuses and between them. The Buddha is flanked by the two Bodhisattvas, Padmapani and Maitreya both occupying high decorated seats. The one to his right has bare feet, resting on a lotus, which are crossed. The attendant on the left wears sandals; one of his legs hangs down, the other rests on the seat and its sandal is left on the ground. Size: 85.5x40.5x12.2cm. This photograph has been taken during the 'Indian Buddhist Art' exhibition that organised by the Indian Museum, Kolkata with 91 rare Buddhist artifacts comprising sculptures and manuscripts at its two different halls to celebrate 202nd anniversary of the museum. This exhibition was previously shown to China, Japan, Singapore and New Delhi also between September 2014 and December 2015. |
