Bharhut: Donation of the Jetavana Monastery
Red sandstone
巴爾胡特遺址祇園布施圖
印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣巴爾胡特遺址出土
印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣（Satna, Allahabad, Madhya Pradesh）巴爾胡特遺址（Bharhut）出土。原為佛塔圍欄柱上的圓形石板。
人物情節安排配合圓形的畫面，浮雕右半部刻劃舍衛城給孤獨長者購買祇園的情節；中間下方兩頭瘤牛拉來金塊，長者指揮兩位僕人將其卸下，另兩位僕人以黃金鋪地；上方三棵旃檀樹代表祇園。左半部刻劃長者捐贈祇園為佛陀修建精舍的情節，中央的給孤獨長者托著一把水壺，意喻將財產布施給象徵佛陀的聖樹；左上方是祇陀太子和他的五位侍從，面露驚訝表情。
上方和左下方刻有兩棟獨立的住所，造型是僧院的雛形，代表後來僧院的所在。
浮雕下方鐫刻銘文，意為「給孤獨以千萬金幣鋪地購買祇園布施」。
