v3.c12.s7.7

To the left of this subject there is another Buddha with two attendants, but the figure of the attendant on the right proper of the Buddha has completely perished. As both these subjects are very faint, it is difficult to express any opinion regarding the artistic merits of the frescoes. The colours which have come out by cleaning with ammonia are scarlet, yellow (goldish), and blue, the first shown in the robe of the Buddha and the second and third in his halo. A kind of green colour is also visible in the striped cloth of the dress of the attendants.
