犍陀羅 二/三世紀 片岩佛教題材石碑 共二件The first panel neatly arranges a haloed devotee kneeling in reverence between two pillars underneath a chaitya arch with grape clusters. Compare with panels depicting the same niches and similar supporting pillars in the British Museum (Zwalf, Gandharan Sculpture, London, 1990, pp. 226-7, nos.401-4.)In the second panel, a vertical border with niched putti divide two scenes. The left depicts an old sage with a cane, possibly Kashyapa, paying homage to Buddha. Another panel with this scene was sold at Sotheby's, New York, 16 & 17 September, lot 3. The scene on the right likely formed part of a depiction of a celestial paradise and shows a bodhisattva seated above a wicker stool facing right and other buddhas and bodhisattvas looking on from behind.
