Description

This fragmentary relief is bordered by a band divided into three superimposed registers occupied by seated figures that are difficult to identify. The main scene has almost entirely disappeared. The legs of a figure, perhaps in lalitāsana, can be seen.

Observations

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.
