[Full title: 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 (5): 顿颈办辫腻濒补蝉 type of 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 Sculpture]

An unique and exceptional image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 惭补丑腻惫墨谤补 (Pl.XXXV.B) from Palma, Purulia District of West Bengal, now housed in the collections of Museum of Indian Art, Berlin (Gr眉nwedel 1909: 56-7; Picron 1998: 100; Mevissen 2001:15).

The uniqueness of this image is the presence of eight 顿颈办辫腻濒补蝉 on the rectangular back-slab of this Jina. In this image 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 stnding in the 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double-petalled lotus-pedestal placed on a sapta-ratha pedestal. The lion 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 is neatly carved in the central projection of the pedestal, while two crouching lions occupy the adjoining rathas. Jina is attended by two male 肠补耻谤墨 bearers wearing lower garments and different ornaments. They stand in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture while the right hands hold fly-whisks. Three human devotees kneel behind these servants, offering their worship to the Jina. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 obviously devoid of any worldly attire, has elongated ear-lobes which are partially damaged and the matted locks of hair has a pronounced 耻峁ａ箛颈峁�a. The hands of the Jina simply hang down. An ovoidal 辫谤补产丑腻 is embellished with beads and flame-tongued border devices and has a flowering twig on its either side. Above the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is the depiction of a tri-linear chatra flanked by two 惫颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 holding long garlands besides the divine hands playing on the drum and cymbals. The back throne of the image consists of posts decorated with mouldings and criss-cross scratched pilasters, supporting a horizontal cross-bar with lightly incised square rhizomes at its ends, above which there are triangular fleurons.

On the projected part of the back-slab there are eight 顿颈办辫腻濒补蝉, recognizable through their respective vehicles, arranged in a vertical row of four on either side of the Jina. On the proper right side of the Jina, from bottom to top we can identify: Kubera (north) pot-bellied and offering perhaps a fruit in the lower left hand, 痴补谤耻峁嘺 (west) seated on a makara and protected by a triple snake-hood, Yama (south) riding the buffalo and presenting the club or 诲补峁囜笉补 in the right hand and Indra (east) riding the elephant with perhaps the vajra in the raised hand. Facing them, we see: 莫艣腻苍补 (northeast) on the bull, armed with the 迟谤颈艣奴濒补, 痴腻测耻 (north-west) on the deer, holding the banner in the left hand, Nir峁泃i (south-west) armed with a club-like object and seated astride an animal which could be a dog or a donkey, Agni (south-east) on the ram and surrounded by flames. The image measures 92 x 43.5 x 14 cm.
