Seated crowned Buddha

The throne is decorated with an elaborate aureole and back plate with makara (sea monster) finials upon which are perched kinnara (half-bird celestial musicians). Beneath the lotus-throne appears the Earth Goddess Prithvi, bearing witness to the Buddha's yogic asceticism. The goddess is flanked by lion and elephant throne-supports, emblematic of the Buddha’s strength and nobility.

The two kneeling figures may be identified as a donor couple. The Buddha is attended by the bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara and Maitreya, each standing on a lotus stem. Seated on lotus-thrones above the standing figures are the bodhisattvas Vajrapani and Manjusri. They are identified by their lotus-borne emblems, the vajra and the manuscript book of scripture respectively. Above are celestial adorers, presenting and bearing garlands. A roughly incised inscription is visible on the base mouldings along with depictions of offerings and ritual utensils.
