# Buddha's first bath

This badly damaged fragment is part of a long slightly curved frieze from a stupa drum. The surviving scene contains a representation of the Buddha's First Bath. The child stands frontally in the centre of the panel while two male figures pour water from two water jars over him in a scene of lustration.
