The seated figure is represented in an architectural niche which suggests a built rather than rock-cut setting. The small scale suggests that it may have formed part of the decoration at the base of a stupa (shrine). - **Kind:** artefact - **Date:** 200–250 CE --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.is-120-1999](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.artefact.vam.is-120-1999) · Pramāṇa
