Male attendant

Both these figures display extensive evidence of being richly painted, with traces of yellow, red, and brown iron-oxides still clearly visible. The male figure is dressed in princely attire, with his robes draped in a Hellenistic manner, and with an elaborate diadem or crown worn over long flowing hair. He gestures to his left, perhaps in the direction of central subject of the composition, presumably a figure of the Buddha. The female is similarly clad in a diaphanous robe, though here only her lower body is covered; she is bare breasted and wears arm and wrist ornaments. Her waist-skirt is secured with sash tried in a flamboyant bow to her left; her long hair is secured with an undecorated headband. Curiously, she appears to have two small fangs protruding from her upper jaw, suggesting that she represents some demonic creature, converted by the Buddha's teachings.

These figures probably formed part of a relief decorating a Buddhist monument, reportedly from the Khyber Pass region.
