Higher up, towards the left, we notice the figure of the palace official again, standing behind the range of conventional rocks. Lower down, towards the right, amidst the foliage of an aśoka tree, the fowler is seen carrying the two geese, one in each hand. The figure of the fowler has become little more than a dark daub, and is difficult to make out in the reproduction. The two geese are, however, clear, and their bleached figures can be seen. According to the story, they are now being taken to the palace to appease the craving of Queen Khemā.
