Borders of nimbus and halo, dark red outlined buff. Field of nimbus dark green and of halo paler green. Lotus, green. To R. on red ground of panel part of a standing figure in long dark red and green robes banded with pearls ; it seems to turn 4 to R. but to look to L. in direction of two first. Perhaps a donor.

Where painting is rubbed off black Brâhmi writing appears, and on rev. are a few characters, showing this to be an old writing tablet used for painting. R. end corners cut off obliquely ; near base of pointed end two holes drilled through, 2" apart. A third hole drilled through junction of two halos. Condition abraded. 48" x 74" X 4"• Pl. XIV.

Intact side edge shows chamfer at back near bottom. At back the level of wood has been very slightly cut away for a width of about 4" as though to fit some kind of frame, and this part is not charred. It suggests that the burning occurred while the panel was still in its frame or support.
