Between the rājā and the Brāhman, there are two figures, one of whom is almost behind his throne. This latter is of a fair complexion, and the style of his (or her?) cap indicates that he is a foreigner. He is holding in his hands a round object which he has brought to offer to the king and queen. The material of the lower garment of this figure has a striped design in which ducks are worked. The other figure has a dark complexion, and she is carrying presents in both hands. The pose and delineation of the head of this figure are very beautiful.
