Description
Ca. AD 200-300.
A relief schist panel illustrating the Parinirvana, the death of Buddha. In this portrayal, Buddha is depicted lying on his right side on an elevated bed, with his head crowned with a nimbus.

The Buddha is surrounded by monks and disciples lamenting, with some raising their hands in a gesture of grief. These finely carved figures are meticulously carved, particularly in regard to the rendering of their faces and draping folds of their robes.
