Standing Bodisattva Maitreya (Buddha of the Future)
The figure is a standing statue of a male with a serene expression. He has curly hair and a crown on his head. His right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand positioned near his chest, while his left arm hangs down by his side. He wears a long robe with folds and creases that are intricately carved, revealing his right shoulder. The statue stands on a decorative base. Behind the figure is a large, circular halo with a rough edge. The statue appears to be made of stone and has a weathered appearance. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
