Description:
Clay votive impression. The clay lump is flat on the back and roughly tear-shaped, thereby resembling a vesica. In the centre is a very deep impression depicting a Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus throne. The right leg hangs down in front, the right hand resting on the calf. The left arm hangs loosely by the side, the left hand holds a long-stemmed lotus. The upper body is nude except for a light stole crossing from the left shoulder to the right hip. The Bodhisattva wears a tiara, the head is surrounded by a nimbus. The rest of the background is covered with small curls probably representing flames.
