	This specimen is very amazing because of its high artistic features. The important noticeable point is the unusual pose of the goddess on the reverse where she has seen seated in the riding posture on the lion as if she is riding a horse (usually it is observed that the goddess has the front facing seated pose). The lion appears to be charging towards the left with its mouth agape in a ferocious roar. The king&rsquo;s posture is dynamic where he is leaning forward and trampling the lion under his foot rather than standing straight.&nbsp;
