Ajanta: The Colour and Monochrome Reproductions of the Ajanta Frescoes Based on Photography v3.c12.s35.7

v3.c12.s35.7

Below the last two scenes there are two more. The one on the left represents the Buddha again seated on a throne or a stone slab. In front of him are several figures, but as the fresco has much faded, only the figures of a bearded person, of another wearing a pearl necklace, and of a groom standing near the horse, can be made out with certainty. The head and neck of the horse are drawn with considerable artistic effect. The harness of the horse is the same as that of the horses in the *Mahājanaka* and *Vidhurapaṇḍita Jātakas* in Caves I-II.²
