Ca. AD 200 - 300. A schist relief panel with the seated Buddha attended by Brahma and Indra, as well as two Bodhisattvas. It is an exquisite ensemble of sculptures that emanates an aura of spiritual significance and artistic brilliance. The central figure of the triad portrays the Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha who attained enlightenment. Sitting in the meditative lotus position, Shakyamuni Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility. The facial features are expertly sculpted, with almond-shaped eyes that convey a profound sense of compassion and wisdom. The finely chiseled nose, gently curved lips, and hair pulled up into a topknot further add to the figure's harmonious countenance. Flanking the central Buddha is Brahma and Indra and two attendant Bodhisattvas, emanating an aura of reverence and devotion. All of these figures are embodying the compassionate ideal of Buddhism, and stand in a poised posture. Adorned in ornate robes that drape gracefully over their bodies, the Buddha figures in the triad are resplendent with richly detailed patterns and textures. The folds and drapery of the garments are skillfully rendered, capturing the subtle movements and fluidity of the fabric. This Triad panel exemplifies the spiritual devotion and artistic mastery of its creator. The harmonious composition and the delicate balance of forms evoke a sense of awe and reverence, inviting contemplation and deepening one's connection to the Buddhist teachings. This triad stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhism and the remarkable artistic legacy it has left behind.
