Gray limestone stele of a standing Buddhist figure in raised-hand gesture, flanked by two attendants on a pointed-top slab.

Stele with Maitreya and Attendants

A standing figure with a topknot and calm, downcast face raises his right hand in a gesture of reassurance, his robe falling in parallel folds. Two smaller attendant figures stand in relief at either side beneath halos, with a small kneeling figure at the lower left.

Look closer: A small kneeling figure rests at the base beside the left attendant.
