說明 | The railing (Skr. vedikā) is made from Sikri sandstone quarried in India’s Mathurā region and was originally part of an ancient stupa. Carved with high-relief yakṣas and lotus, the railing exhibits an iconography commonly seen during the Kuṣāṇa period (1st century-320), and its style is in keeping with many works dated from the second to third century. The yakṣa (i.e., śālabhañjikā) is a female earth spirit or tree goddess widely worshipped in ancient India prior to the founding of Buddhism. Her wide-hipped, full-breasted figure is a symbol of fertility. The cult of the yakṣa was later absorbed into Buddhism in order to encourage converts, and the yakṣa is regarded as a protector of the Dharma. |
