v2.c37.292

Several plaques having both male and female figures or only female ones are dated between 750 and 850. One of them depicts a male holding a sword in his right hand, the left leg is flexed at the knee and resting on the toe. Both the legs of the female are bent at the knee; the left hand rests on the knee while the right hand is kept on the breast. The other plaque depicts a female sitting cross-legged with a peacock on her right. Another plaque shows a lady sitting cross-legged on a swing holding its strings in both the hands, wearing a trefoil head-dress and a rich foliage above. A warrior holding a shield in his left hand also belongs to the same period. The dagger type of human figures is also present.
