The second stage of Jain iconography is illustrated in the varieties of the Jinas of the Kushan school which may be said to be of three types: first in which the Jina figures form a part of a sculptured panel; second in which figures are represented as images of worship and third show figures in the middle of Ayāgapaṭas. In these ‘the image-type’ of Jinas have some noticeable peculiarities such as seated figures have no attendants on sides but have a devotional scene on the pedestal; standing figures are nude and are attended by two Gandharvas. Dharmacakra symbol in its simple representation is also found on the Kushan images.
