Stele with Vishnu on Garuda
Gray stone carving of a standing man on top of a bird-like creature. The man has four arms, a crown on his head, earrings, a necklace, bracelets on both wrists, a cloth wrapped around his waist, and a sash around his stomach. The man holds a conch shell in his lower right hand, a discus in his upper right hand, a lotus in his upper left hand, and a mace in his lower left hand. The man wears a sash around his stomach which drapes down between his legs. The creature beneath him has wings on both sides and a beak-like face. The man and creature are carved inside a tall, pointed arch with decorative edges, with the top point missing. The back of the stone is flat.
