Base for a Seated Buddha with Figures of Ascetics
The sculpture depicts a rectangular base with a reclining Buddha figure on top. The Buddha is carved with folds of fabric covering the body, head resting on the right hand, and the left arm bent across the chest. The base features two men, possibly ascetics or devotees, positioned on either side, facing each other. The man on the left appears to be crouching with left knee on the ground, bent over with hands raised. The man on the right sits cross-legged, arms raised at an angle. The sculpture is made of gray stone, with visible texture and rough edges. The background is dark, transitioning from black to gray.
