The article covers the attribution of Mahabodhi temple’s railing sculpture. Mahabodhi temple is the first Buddhist temple constructed on a place of Gautama Buddha’s Enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The author attributes and analyzes railing’s reliefs from Mahabodhi complex kept in Archaeological museum in Bodhgaya (Sudhabhojanajataka-cycle), uses never translated into Russian jataka-stories, narrating about last births of the Buddha. For the purpose of attribution’s acceleration the author offers a method of findings check by means of «attributive anchors» of first, second and third degrees. The attribution’s problems under review are the using of iconographical complex approach, an interreligious context and preservation. The article is supplied with new photos of sculptural medallions, which are published for the first time and with the permission of Bodhgaya Museum.
