Description

Two female figures are seated on a stool below the ledge with small, empty niches at the top. Both are cladded in Roman style costumes, but the hairstyle is typically Gandharan tied with hair bands. They wear simple bracelets and earrings. One is playing a long flute while the other has turned her head to her right to look at something.
