Description: In a landscape, 2 monumental sculptures of Bouddha : one standing on the left, carved in the rock of a hill, and an other one, bigger, recumbent and completely detached from the hill. The head is laid on a pillow. Behind this one, there seem to be a carved hole in the rock. In front of the recumbent bouddha, we can see rests of an architectural structure of stones (walls and maybe a staircase).
