Second century B.C. Of less vigour and consistency. The life-tree-like combination of lotuses, deer and lions, is based on a tortoise (cf. Fig. 30), besides it contains a Yakṣa couple standing on boulsters, and Lakṣmī, bathed by elephants and in a lotus composition. All the figures, irrespective of action and status, are equal parts of a design that ascends in freely flowing curves to either side of a vertical axis, and rests for a while in the verticals, which are clad with a human appearance. - [Previous: c8.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.70) - [Next: c8.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.72) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.71) · Pramāṇa
