Fragment of relief plaque made of brown unfired clay. Shown is a Buddha seated cross-legged, with his hands held in what is probably the vajra mudrā (literally “thunder mudrā”). This gesture, made by extending the index finger of one hand upward and the other hand making a fist and enclosing it, is the gesture of knowledge. The Buddha wears a robe with prominent folds and is seated in front of a mandorla, his head surrounded by a nimbus. The whole figure is surrounded by a circle of lotus leaves.
