The oval shaped artifact represents three enlightened monks, venerated as three Buddhas. They are in the spiritual assembly. One of them seems to enshrine the sacred enclosure while other two are engaged in some serious discourse. One of these two monks is holding a child while the other is carrying in one of his hands a large pot and in the other, a staff atop which hang a bag-like article and a double drum.
