Buddha Attended by Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara and Maitreya
The sculpture depicts three figures on a rectangular base. The central figure is a large male with a tall, rounded topknot, wearing a long, draped garment. He has his hands positioned at chest level and stands on a circular base. Flanking him are two smaller male figures on circular bases, each with a tall, more detailed topknot; they wear similar long garments, with one on the left appearing to have a bare right shoulder. Their hands are down by their sides. All figures have serene expressions. The entire sculpture has a metallic sheen with a silver-gray color.
