Drum Slab Showing the Buddha Standing in the Gateway of a Stupa. Culture: India (Andhra Pradesh, Nagarjunakonda). Dimensions: H. 48 in. (121.9 cm); W. 29 3/4 in. (75.6 cm); D. 6 3/4 in. (17.1 cm); Est. Wt. 723.3 lbs (328.1 kg). Date: second half of the 3rd century. This limestone panel was part of a series that encircled the drum of a large stupa. It shows the Buddha standing in the gateway of a stupa being venerated by two female devotees. Attendants holding fly whisks (chauris) stand at either side of the gateway, which is crowned by lions.
