Bodhisattva (Maitreya) with crossed ankles
The sculpture depicts a figure with a serene expression, eyes closed, and a small mustache. The figure wears a tall, cylindrical hat adorned with a patterned design at the top. A long-sleeved robe with a V-shaped neckline and a folded section at the chest covers the body. The robe features folds and creases carved into the stone. The figure sits cross-legged on a base, with ankles crossed. The left leg is on top of the right leg. The left arm rests on the left knee, while the right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on the right knee. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or clay and exhibits a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
