Slab with the representation of the two footprints;[1] probably facing towards the observer. On the soles is a large chakra<\/em>. On the heels there is a “\u03c9<\/em>-motif<\/em>“[2] combined with an open padm\u0101 <\/em>and two interstitial motifs. There are grooved lines along the “omega motif<\/em>“. There is another com\u00adbined with a ring-shaped chakra <\/em>(padm\u0101<\/em>-motif) and two bar-shaped inter\u00adstitial elements on the tip of the big toes. The prongs of the “\u03c9<\/em>-motif<\/em>” point towards the tip of the toes. The edge of the relief plate is decorated with a zigzag band with half rosettes. On the narrow sides of the plate repeats the same motif, complete with line and half-rosettes themselves. Atypically the decorated motif is represented on the four sides of the external sides of the buddhapadas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n[2]<\/sup> Variously termed as nandipada, nandy\u0101varta, vardham\u0101na<\/em>, tri\u015b\u016bla, triratna, satti (\u015bkti)<\/em>, “taaurine”<\/em>, “crown of Brahm\u0101<\/em>“, an auspicious sign. It can be found on various objects of Indian art, not necessarily of a religious nature. In the author\u2019s opinion it may symbolize the three branches of the tree of life. For this and other symbols on Buddhapadas<\/em>, see Quagliotti 1998, 79\u2013107.<\/p>\n
