The features and drapery are of an early type. Fig. C is a good specimen of Buddha seated on the 'diamond throne', closely resembling the Berlin figure seated on a 'lion throne' (\*ante\*, Plate XXVI). The remaining figure D is interesting as a later and more Hinduized Buddha type, on a ‘lotus throne’, and with the soles of the feet turned up in \*yogī\* fashion. The right shoulder is bared. The suppliants at the foot of the throne may be the donors of the sculpture. - [Previous: c10.s2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c10.s2.7) - [Next: c10.s2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c10.s2.9) - [Up: c10.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c10.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c10.s2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c10.s2.8) · Pramāṇa
