These two pieces of ornaments were depicted incarnate Buddha paying respect to Sarira: two featuring a three-story pagoda on the back of elephants and horses and one with a seated Buddha putting his hands together on the back of an elephant. Each ornament has a protrusion like their other variants or cintamani, but it is not confirmed whether they were actually fitted into the aureola of a Buddha statue.
