A Gray Schist Figure of Bodhisattva Maitreya
Gandhara, 2nd/3rd Century
Standing on a hexagonal plinth with his left hand lowered holding the bottle with the elixir of immortality, wearing long flowing robes draped across his left shoulder, his face with a serene expression with downcast eyes beneath gently arched brows, his hair tied in a bow and adorned with strings of pearls, with curls of hair cascading down to his shoulders, with a plain circular nimbus, the pedestal carved as a pillared shrine with devotees centered by a vase of jewels
32½ in. (82.6 cm.) high
