Farther to the right the artist has painted clouds in piles of dark green with silvery outlines. The delineation, in spite of its conventionality, is quite effective. Among these clouds the bust of a *Yaksha* is seen, holding a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. In front of him is a pair of flying figures. The female figure is gracefully held in the arm of her consort, and both are gently floating in the air. The male carries an upright sword in his right hand.
