About This Piece
Three Buddhist figures share a broad circular plaque beneath a carved crest. A single lotus rising above waves decorates the reverse, giving the second face a much simpler composition.
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.
