Tile with Buddhist Trinity in Relief

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray, stone relief sculpture. The sculpture is shaped like an arch with rounded top edges. It depicts three figures. The central figure sits cross-legged on a lotus flower, with hands resting on knees. The figure has a prominent headpiece. Two smaller figures flank the central one, each standing, with one arm raised and one lowered, and hands positioned near the body. All three figures have similar facial features and expressions. The central figure and the two flanking figures have halos behind their heads. The background of the sculpture features carved patterns. The sculpture sits on a dark gray background.
