Putti with composite garlands of this type, borrowed along with other popular gods from Western antiquity, would typically form a continuous frieze, here rounded to fit a stupa; for fragments of similarly carved examples, see I. Kurita, Gandharan Art, vol. II, 2003, figs. 661-62, p. 223; and National Museum of Art Osaka, The Exhibition of Gandhara Art of Pakistan, 1984, fig. IV-3, p. 71.
