description: Rectangular stone panel with high relief erotic carving: 6 bays divided by 5 pillars with total of 8 figures. Figures grouped as 3 single (2 female, other indistinct) alternating with 3 pairs, each male and female. Frieze above or plantlike motifs, very broken and incomplete. Wilson's journals suggest that he picked up this piece (along with another ?) at an ancient Hindu temple at Cootub Minar, considered to be earlier than Islamic column erected at this place, but did not like to admit to it as he considered it obscene.

The column also commemorated the triumph of Islam over the Brahminical faith, as it was placed over the remains of a Hindu temple. Wilson picked up the sculptural panel from the ruins of the temple, but did not like to exhibit it subsequently because of the subject matter. He wrote that he considered it 'beastly'. The sculpture is an erotic carving. There are nine figures in total, in six niches flanked by pillars. The single female figures, face on, alternate with the pairs, each female and male in profile and in…
