The delicate temple-like frame of the shrine sits on a footed base with incised foliate decoration. Miniature pillars of the niche-like flames of Parshvanantha include images of eleven jinas with flanking attendants. A row of small figures representing the planets is included across the base. All details of this shrine are executed with great refinement. An inscription on the reverse states that this piece was dedicated in the year 1097 by a devotee named Sri Prasannachandra.
