*The female attendant on proper right*: A female figure is standing on right in a position forming an acute angle with the main figure. She wears a head-dress secured with a band, ear-pendants, a torque with a taurine symbol in the centre, a scarf, a breast-band (*stana-paṭṭa*), armlets and wristlets. A pair of loose locks is shown falling on each shoulder. The drapery consists of a *dhoti* with lines of folds marked in relief, but nudity is indicated. She is also wearing a girdle, heavy anklets and a tight cylindrical ornament round each leg above the anklets. The flexed right arm is held near the stomach, grasping something which is now broken. The left hand raised to shoulder, is also damaged.
