The frieze sculpted in high relief with a pair of Buddha's, each seated with the legs crossed on a throne, their hands clasped under the wide sleeves of their mantles, the latter covering both shoulders falling down in regular pleats along their body, arms and legs and with a further section draped over the throne, their faces displaying serene expressions with downcast eyes below arched eyebrows that run into their nose-bridges, smiling lips, elongated earlobes and their plain hairdo continuing into the ushnisha, some archaic characters and emblems engraved at the base.
