Sculpture

This low relief of the Buddha with a monk's begging bowl in one hand and the other hand in the earth-touching posture (bhumisparsamudra) has the unadorned simplicity associated with the Pyu style of central Burma (now Myanmar).

This image is related to a later series decorating the base of Yahandagu pagoda at Sri Ksetra, a monument which dates to the 10th century, immediately preceding the sacking of Hmawza (also known as Prome) by the forces of Pagan in the 11th century.
