This is an artwork created in 563 AD and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. Although this work is relatively small in scale, its exquisite carving showcases the complete image found on larger Buddha statues. In addition to the Maitreya statue in the center, the halo carved statue, and the bodhisattvas on both sides, flying celestial beings and dragons also appear on the flame shaped mandalas at the top and bottom. The back of the stone tablet is engraved with a 69 character inscription, which records the names of the donors who commissioned the production of this work and offered it in 563.
