c16.s5.6

Budhagupta confined himself only to the Archer type, which shows no variations in details. The king is always facing left, holding the bow at the top. In class I, the name of the king Budha is engraved under the left arm; in class II, this feature is absent. There is a circular legend on the obverse, but it has not yet become possible to decipher it, as it is fragmentary and indistinct. Initial letters appear to be *paraha*; it may have begun with *Parahitakārī*.
