Summary

Description
English: Rectangular votive panel shows three seated figures, each one against a large round halo. The figure on the left has a moustache and possibly a third eye in the centre of the forehead. This male deity has been identified as Indra-Adbog. The central figure is four-armed and holds the sun and the moon in the upper hands, and an unidentifiable object in the raised right hand. It has been suggested that she may represent the Sogdian goddess Nana. The figure on the right is three-headed and four-armed, holding bow and arrows in his upper arms and a drinking bowl in front of his chest. All three heads show a third vertical eye in the centre of the forehead, and the central face has a moustache. This figure has been traditionally identified as Brahma. However, the three heads and three eyes as well as the bow and arrows could also suggest an identification with Shiva-Weshparkar.
