The relief panel from the Dames Collection, now in Berlin (Fig. 59), offers one of the most notable examples of the Buddha standing, with long hair and moustaches. His attitude is exceptional, and in his left hand he holds a palm-leaf book and gathers up his robe. The work, although evidently early, is not of the best artistic quality.
