Description:
Fragment of wall-painting made of stucco. Shown is a Bodhisattva (?) seated in meditation pose on a red lotus. The upper body is bare while a bright blue garment (dhoti) envelops the legs. A red stole hangs from the shoulder and is draped over the right thigh. Only the left hand is visible which is directed downward with the palm facing out (Varada mudra) and touches a flask that is standing between the feet of the figure. The right hand is broken away but seems to be raised to shoulder height with fingers extended and the palm turned outward (Abhaya mudra). The figure is seated before a mandorla in green and dark red. To the left the remains of a smaller person, possibly a donor, can be seen. The red, black, blue, pink and green pigments used are still very vibrant.
