The Buddha (Pl. LXXI, Fig. 3) stands erect with the right knee slightly bent forward. He wears a transparent, close-fitting dress, whose edges are seen above the anklets and then passing over the left arm fall in folds. The garment passes over the left shoulder leaving the right uncovered. There is no *uṇṇā* but the *uṣṇīṣa* is unusually high. This was perhaps due to the existence of an umbrella over his head. It has now disappeared, but there is a socket on the back for fixing it.
