Section of a Dharani Pillar

Cleveland Museum of Art

Section of a Dharani Pillar by Unknown. The image shows a weathered, gray stone carving with a central figure and two side figures. The central figure depicts a person sitting cross-legged on a pedestal, surrounded by an ornate oval design with flame-like points at the top. The person wears a robe and appears to have short hair. The two side figures show people riding animals. The figure on the left rides a creature with a shell-like back, and the figure on the right rides a horse-like creature. Both riders wear robes and have headpieces with flame-like designs. The top of the carving features intricate carvings and writing. The background of the image is gray. The carving appears to be a section of a larger pillar.
