Plaque with Mithuna (Loving Couple)
The image shows a rectangular stone plaque with a relief carving of a man and a woman. The plaque is rectangular with a small T-shaped protrusion at the top. The relief depicts a man and a woman sitting close together; the man is on the left with the left arm around the woman to her right. The man has one leg tucked under the other. The woman sits on the man's right, her left leg bent, and her right leg extended. The plaque is decorated with ornate carvings around the outside including what appears to be a carved candelabra on both sides. There are floral and leaf designs on top. A series of small ovular shapes decorate the bottom. The background appears to be gray.
