Bodhisattva Maitreya, Folio from a dispersed Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom) Manuscript

The image depicts a Buddhist manuscript page with a central illustration and text on either side. The central figure is a seated bodhisattva with four arms, wearing a crown and jewelry, and sitting cross-legged on a throne. The bodhisattva has a serene expression and is positioned in front of a red arch. The throne has a yellow and red design on the back, and the bodhisattva sits on a multicolored base. The bodhisattva's hands are positioned in front of him, with the top pair holding objects and the bottom pair empty. A small yellow figure sits to the left of the bodhisattva. The background of the central panel features intricate gold designs and green leaves. The text on either side of the central image is written in black ink on a tan background and appears to be in an ancient language. The entire image is framed by a yellow border with red accents. The central image and text are set against a white background.
