Stone slab with a relief carving of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni born about 2500 years ago
The Buddha is seated in the diamond attitude (vajraparyankasana) on a single lotus pedestal. He rests his left hand in his lap while his right hand is raised in the gesture of fearlessness (abhaya-mudra).
The custom of engraving rock-cliffs, stone boulders and stone slabs is a very ancient tradition on the Tibetan plateau.
