Figure 43 gives a characteristic and well-preserved specimen of the bas-reliefs on the coping. The large fruit is that of the jack (\*Artocarpus integrifolia\*), and the deer are the spotted hog-deer kind (\*Axis porcinus\*). The artists who could design and execute such pictures in hard sandstone had no small skill. In general appearance they are not altogether unlike the much later reliefs from Boro-Būdūr in Java.
