Subject: Buddha in face stone/Crowned Bodhisattva seated

Subject: Votive Stupa. Miniature stupas such as these were dedicated by pilgrims who had visited the major site or sites associated with the life of the Buddha. It is also possible that they were dedicated on behalf of someone who was unable to undertake pilgrimage to any of the sites but wished to do so metaphorically by providing a small stupa such as this. The absence of inscriptions leaves their purpose uncertain.
