Par nirvana (death and transcendence of the Buddha) and attendant arhats
The sculpture depicts a central figure lying down on a platform, surrounded by three seated figures. The central figure is adorned with a green robe draped over their body and has a distinctive coiled hairstyle on their head. They are lying on their back with their left arm resting on their stomach and their right arm positioned alongside their body. The platform supporting the central figure is rectangular in shape, featuring a green base with gold accents and ornate designs along its edges. The platform's front showcases three square panels, each adorned with a white flower-like pattern. The three seated figures surrounding the central figure are all bald and wear green robes. The figure on the left appears to be resting their chin on their hand, while the middle figure has their elbow on their knee and their hand near their face. The figure on the right sits upright with their hands resting on their lap. The background of the image transitions from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top.
