Surya is the Sun God and can be identified by seven horses or a carriage drawn by horses.

Here he is standing on a lotus flower in an alcove, the seven horses standing on the bottom.

A female figure is standing in front of his feet and two other attendees to his sides.

Surya is holding his hands at chest height and palms facing the viewer, holding the stems of flowers growing beside his shoulders.

The round face is smiling with a broad nose and bulging eyes.

Circular ear rings and a high, conical crown adorn his head.

The backside of the fragment is flat.
