Two Lotuses, from the Bharhut Stupa
The image depicts a reddish-brown stone carving titled "Two Lotuses, from the Bharhut Stupa" by an unknown artist. The carving features two spiral designs side by side, each spiral resembling a flower with a circular center and petals radiating outward. The spirals are carved in a relief style and are connected at the top. The top of the carving is uneven with a rough edge on the right side and a smoother edge on the left. The bottom features a geometric pattern with diamond shapes and lines. The background of the image is gray, with a shadow beneath the carving, indicating it is raised. The carving appears to be rectangular but has an uneven top edge. The texture of the carving is rough, suggesting it is made from a natural stone. The carving does not contain any people or animals.
