The stone tablet is a marble carving from the Northern Qi period. The Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577 AD) was one of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in Chinese history. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, Buddhism was widely spread and developed in China. Buddhist art works during this period often exhibited unique artistic styles. The statue of Shakyamuni on this monument represents the past and future of Buddhism. Buddha Shakyamuni displays a kind smile with fearless and charitable gestures, with two bodhisattvas and two disciples on either side. Shakyamuni, also known as Gautama Siddhartha, was the founder of Buddhism, which was founded in ancient India in the 6th century BC.
