Bronze sculpture of a seated Buddha flanked by two smaller seated bodhisattvas, each within a arched halo under a tiered parasol.

Enthroned Buddha Attended by the Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara and Vajrapani

A dark green bronze triad shows a seated Buddha at center, hands raised in a teaching gesture, flanked by two smaller seated bodhisattvas on lower thrones. Each figure sits within a flaming-edged mandorla beneath a tiered parasol finial, all on a stepped pedestal. The patina and crisp detailing suggest a Javanese casting.
