Panel of Buddha

Panel showing the Archery Contest. The haloed Bodhisattva, standing with his back to the viewer, wears a short paridhāna, and below a chignon his hair runs in dense curves down to the neck. His thick cylindrical left arm is fully stretched, while his right draws back the bowstring and arrow to the ear.
