Today is #ThankATeacherDay! This carved marble object, made in Islamabad in 1725, is a shrine to two teachers.

The two pairs of feet, carved in relief into white marble, represent those of Jinadatta Suri and Jinakushala Suri, revered Jain gurus of the 12th to 14th centuries.

The shrine is on display in Gallery 32 on Level 1.
