This rare and large capital has an impressive size! The naturalness of the acanthus leaf motif, completely Greek, is smoothly associated with an image of a bodhisattva, a compassionate being, making the gesture of appeasement (abhaya mudrā). This piece, whose vegetal decoration is extremely refined, was supposed to surmount a pilaster framing a niche and in which was the probably monumental statue of a Buddha or a bodhisattva.
