Bodhisattva and Attendants
The image depicts a rectangular stone carving featuring three figures. The central figure sits cross-legged on a platform. The figure wears a crown-like hairstyle and a necklace; the body is bare from the waist up. Two attendants flank the central figure; both wear long, wrapped garments and have their hair styled similarly. The left attendant raises one arm, while the right attendant holds an object in both hands. The carving features a border comprising triangular shapes arranged in a leaf-like pattern. The background fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The stone appears reddish-brown with a lighter-colored dust or patina covering parts of its surface. The title of the piece is "Bodhisattva and Attendants".
