The Saptarishi Tila statue, also called the Kambojika statue,

Since the statue was found in the same mound as the Mathura lion capital, many authors have interpreted it as being a statue of the First Queen of Rajuvula, Kamuia Ayasa, also called Kambojika.^[3] This is also the interpretation of the Mathura Museum, the notice of which says she is "probably Kambojika, the Chief Queen of Rajuvula".^[5] According to Rosenfield, in order for it to be a statue of Kamuia Ayasa, it would have had to be made in the early 1st century CE, which is unlikely, given our knowledge of Gandharan statuary, generally dated to the 2nd century at the earliest.^[3]

Other authors interpret the statue of the goddess Hariti.^[3][6]

A remain of a child hand can be seen on the left arms, which supports the identification of the statue as Hariti.^[3]
