| Detailed Description | This copper plaque bears an exquisitely carved scene on it. On the top surface there is a chaitya, very much resembling the stone chaityas of South India. A king is seen close to the chaitya. Perhaps he is going away after making offering. In the second compartment below, the king is shown riding a chariot drawn by horses and proceeding towards his palace. It is probably a Buddhist subject. Curiously enough the site of Jhusi has not yielded a single Buddhist object so far. It is possible that the plaque was imported to Jhusi from some other Buddhist centre. |
