1993.108 Stele with Shakyamuni and Maitreya

In this stele, Shakyamuni (the historical Buddha) bears a benign smile in the hand gestures of fearlessness and gift giving. He is flanked by two bodhisattvas and two disciples-all standing against a mandorla (almond-shaped halo) adorned with a stupa and flying heavenly beings. On the reverse side, the Buddha sits in a pensive pose with his head tilted, mediating under twin sala trees. This position is reserved for Shakyamuni's first meditation or Maitreya's meditation. The joint appearance of Shakyamuni and Maitreya (the future Buddha) on two sides of a stele was a favorite scheme of the Northern Qi period. https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1993.108 Photogrammetry by Thomas Flynn Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab此造像碑中，释迦牟尼佛（Shakyamuni，即历史佛陀）面露慈和笑意，结施无畏印与与愿印。其两侧胁侍二菩萨与二弟子，诸像皆依托舟形头光（mandorla，杏仁状光环）而立，头光表面饰有佛塔与飞天。 碑阴面内，佛陀结思惟坐姿，头部微倾，于双娑罗树下禅思。此坐姿为释迦牟尼佛初禅坐之姿，亦为弥勒菩萨禅思的典型造像样式。 释迦牟尼佛与弥勒佛（Maitreya，未来佛陀）分置于造像碑两面的并置造像范式，为北齐时期广受推崇的造像题材。 https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1993.108 该造像的摄影测量工作由托马斯·弗林（Thomas Flynn）完成 数据来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
