Bharhut: Dwarf Yaksas
Red sandstone
巴爾胡特遺址蓮花及藥叉圖
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裝飾浮雕。
內圈雕有一藥叉女半身像，其右側空間飾一枝蓮蕾。外圈下方蹲踞一藥叉，藥叉兩手各持一根蓮莖。蓮莖彎曲向上，節節分枝，其間布滿了蓮蕾、半開與盛開的蓮花及蓮葉。外圈邊緣伸出四枝盛開的蓮花。
蓮花象徵生命、富饒與吉祥，藥叉與藥叉女亦是財富與生命力的象徵，在巴爾胡特的圍欄與塔門浮雕中，這些裝飾圖案尤為普遍。
