She is accompanied on the left by Buddha Shakyamuni calling the earth to witness his Enlightenment, or possibly the Jina Buddha Akshobhya, and on the right by Amitayus, the Buddha of Eternal Life, each seated upon a lotus pedestal before a lobed aureole. The surrounding field is animated with leaping leogryphs amid vigorously curling clouds and foliate scrolls, all enclosed within a border of petal-form lappets. Inscriptions: Inscribed to the back in Ranjana script, ‘Prajnaparamita’ प्रज्ञापारमिता [‘Perfection of Wisdom’].
