Finely cast bronze model of a stupa set upon a rectangular plinth decorated with alternating seated Buddha figures and floral rosettes. The central domed reliquary rises from a circular base and is surmounted by a stepped harmika and umbrella finial, while four slender columns mark the corners of the architectural composition. The restrained proportions and simplified geometric forms reflect the enduring influence of Gandharan Buddhist architecture, transmitted through later devotional and ritual objects produced for private worship and monastic use.
The bronze displays a dark grey-brown patina with areas of wear and surface accretions consistent with age.
