Women's Palace Musician and Guard
Haḍḍa, lost location - Historiated bas-relief
This is the lower left part of a relief depicting a woman sleeping on a stool or tambourine, leaning against a column of the gynaecaeum. An incomplete figure stands behind her with his hand on her chest. This may be Chandaka, who has come to fetch his master, or it may be another woman who is asleep.
Observation :The schist reliefs discovered by Barthoux between 1926 and 1928 are mostly from the vicinity of the Great Stūpa K1 of Tapa-i Kafarihā, the south-western part of the main stūpa B12 of Bāgh Gaï (around B13) and the Great Stūpa TK140 of Tapa Kalān.
