Seated Buddha in bhadrasana - the Litany scene
The actual focus of this forward-facing shrinelet is the bhadrasana Buddha on its rear wall (seen in this image). The expected bodhisattvas--Avalokitesvara with jata mukuta at the left and a crowned Vajrapani (?) leaning upon a burly dwarf at the right--attend the lion throne with its elaborate (and conventional) back, while siddhis (with ascetic headdresses) and dwarfs fly above.
