A full-shot, front-facing, waist-up, dark gray stone sculpture of a Buddhist bodhisattva stands against a plain, tan, textured wall. The bodhisattva, likely Maitreya, is depicted as a youthful figure with intricate jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets, and draped robes. The figure has a mustache and a serene expression. A circular halo, or ushnisha, with ornate carvings sits behind its head. The right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or teaching, while the left hand rests at the hip, holding a fold of the robe. The sculpture rests on a pedestal adorned with carved figures. The lighting casts a prominent shadow to the right of the sculpture, indicating a light source from the left. This artwork is housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
