This stone tablet is a cultural relic from the Eastern Wei period in China (534-550 AD) and is currently housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in the United States. According to the inscription, this stone tablet was commissioned by Wang Yuanning of Gaoping in 537 AD to commemorate his late consort, hoping that it could take her to the Western Paradise. Here, the Buddha's robe displays carefully arranged pattern decorations (large U-shaped folds and scallop shaped folds at the hem), combining linear rhythm and ordered symmetry. The mandala (almond shaped halo) at the edge of the flame echoes the linear eloquence of Chinese painting.
