Maitreya
Gray sculpture of Maitreya by unknown artist. A large figure sits on a rectangular base with legs crossed and hands in front of body. The figure has long hair parted down the middle with strands hanging straight down on either side of the face. The figure wears a crown and a long dress. A large disk with a design is behind the figure's head. Two curved objects with animal-like heads extend from the base on either side of the figure's hands. A smaller figure stands beside and behind the large figure on the right. Three carved birds are on the front of the base.
