Description

Scope and content : Fragment of wall with decoration on both sides. On one side there is an appliquŽ plaque moulded of light-grey clay. Shown is the Buddha in meditation pose seated on a small lotus throne and against a double mandorla. The plaque must originally have been coloured completely but now only the red and white colour of the mandorla as well as the very faded black pigments of the hair remain. This side of the object is very worn and neither face nor hands etc. can be distinguished. On the other side are the remains of a wall painting depicting the arm and part of the upper body of a person with a shawl. The outlines of the figure have been drawn with a dark red colour, the skin is very pale and the whole scene is set before a pale red background.
