About This Piece
Samantabhadra is arranged in a tall teardrop composition with an elephant below the figure. The lotus base and outer border create parallel curves around the devotional relief.
Carving details and what to examine
The plant forms invite a close look at the meeting points between petals, leaves and the surrounding ground. Compare these small details with the larger outline to judge the balance of the design. Side lighting is useful for seeing depth without mistaking a cast shadow for a carved line.
