A circular earthenware relief depicts three Buddhist figures next to each other with remnants of red, green, and white pigment. The deity in the middle sits cross-legged on a tiered pedestal featuring a lion, beneath an ornate canopy. The deities on our left and right stand on lotus bases with hands raised. All three figures feature circular halos and rounded protrusions. The weathered surface shows chips across the grey and reddish clay.
