Mirisawetiya, stone artifacts, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka.

Animals in procession.

Part of a 'Guard-stone'.

Lions.

A sacred foot-print used in worship.
The foot-print was one of the earliest items used by followers of Lord Buddha to remember him. This must have been a centre-piece and object of veneration for thousands at that time.
