It is important especially to note the difference in position of the right hand. If supporting the head of the Buddha, the image denotes that the Buddha is resting (see story below). If the right arm is lying done next to the body, the image denotes that the Buddha has entered into Nirvana (has passed away). Note on the images, that the left foot is positioned right on top of the right foot, and that the robe of the Buddha is such as it would be if he was standing up.
