The Great Miracle at Shravasti

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Great Miracle at Shravasti, Gandhara, depicts a central figure, likely a Buddha, standing with the right hand raised. The figure wears a long robe with multiple folds and a headpiece. A halo surrounds the figure's head. The figure stands on a base with wavy patterns at the bottom. The figure is surrounded by seven other figures in various poses, three on each side, and one kneeling in front. The three on the left are, from left to right, a figure with long hair and a hand to their mouth; another figure with an elaborate turban, hands clasped; and a third figure obscured by the central figure. The central figure's left arm is bent upward. In front of the central figure on the right, a figure kneels. On the right side are two figures with elaborate turbans, hands clasped or raised. The background features a tree-like design.
