Buddha is seated on throne, ornamented with usual flowers at the side of the corinthion pilaster in front. Between the pilaster is an alms-bowl attended by six kneeling devotees. From the position of the right arm it appears to have been in the abhayapose; the left hand clutches the end of the upper garment which covers both the shoulders of the figure.
