The sculpture is titled "Lime Stone-Cornice beam." It features a sequence of carvings that depict various scenes from Buddhist mythology, arranged from left to right. These scenes include Salabhanjikas, Mithuna, Stupa worship, and Dharmachakra. The repetition of the Mithuna motif suggests its significance in the narrative. The sequence continues with Mara's assault, followed by Mahabhinishkramana, which marks a pivotal moment in the Buddha's journey. This is then succeeded by the Birth of Siddhartha, another crucial event in Buddhist mythology. Finally, the sculpture concludes with Salabhanjika, possibly symbolizing the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms. The dimensions of the sculpture are 35 X 332 X 17cm. |
