He is flanked by two dwarf ganas, or accompanists. The figure on left holds a vase and that on the right appears to hold a Conch (Shankha) shell. This indicates that they are representations of Nidhisor - keepers of wealth. Legends in later Brahmi script reads &lsquo;Sri Pravarasena&#39;, Rev: exotically beautiful depiction of a seated female goddess, nimbate, seated in Sukhasana posture (one leg flexed at knee and resting horizontally) on a lion/tiger whose head is seen below her left knee and hind legs and rump are to the right. The tongue of an animal sticks out, indicating that this is a representation not of a live lion, but of a lion or tiger skin. The goddess wears flowing dress, with female uttariya (mythical duppatta), and holds a lotus flower in both the hands. A Conch (Sankha) shell mounted on pedestal (partly visible) is seen in field left below which are traces of Brahmi legend &lsquo;Kidara&rsquo;, to the right Brahmi legend&rsquo; Jaya&rsquo;,&nbsp;&nbsp;7.50g,&nbsp;23.32mm,&nbsp;about extremely fine,&nbsp;Exceedingly Rare.

According to the Rajatarangini of Kalhana, the Hunnic Ruler Toramana died in 515 AD and left behind two sons, namely Mihirakula and Pravarasena. After Toramana&rsquo;s death Pravarasena was hidden by his mother and uncle in a potter&rsquo;s house, then later he went to a northern country and lived there as a pilgrim. After Mihirakula&rsquo;s death Pravarasena went back to Kashmir from the North and ascended the throne. According to the Rajatarangini this event happened in c. 533 AD. This fact is disputed by some scholars as there was a usurper named Maitrigupta in between who ruled for four years. Thus Pravarasena ascended the throne in 537 AD when he was a young man of twenty-five years.
