v6.c40.s2.39

In a structure composed of bricks three fragmentary terra-cotta panels have been found. ‘One of the three panels represents a votary kneeling with the palm resting on the projected base of the sculpture. (The head of the figure is broken off and the feet are not indicated.) Another panel represents only the legs of a standing figure, while the third depicts a female figure rising from the ground after the fashion of the earth goddess in representations of the enlightenment of the Buddha.’³
