Another image in the Lahore Museum (No. 0239), in a different style and with finely sculptured drapery of another kind, is a beautiful work, of equal or possibly superior merit (Fig. 62). The small relief on the pedestal follows the tradition of the Early School in the interior by abstaining from all attempt to image the dead Master, his presence being symbolized by the empty seat. I should think that this charming sculpture must be of early date.
