Moonstones (Sandakada Pahana)

A Moonstone is an elaborately carved semi-circular stone slab, with a half lotus carved in the centre followed by carvings of swans, intricate foliage, elephants, lions, horses and bulls,

each in bands. These can be spotted at the bottom of staircases and entrances of historic Buddhist architecture.
