北齐,公元549年—577年
1989年《出自墓葬和寺庙的中国早期艺术》展展出
This sculptural group, carved both on the front and the reverse, is beautifully carved in the finest white micaceous marble. The iconography of the stele, with Buddha Sākyamuni flanked by attendants and Bodhisattvas on the front and a meditating figure of Maitreya on the reverse, found a special favour in the Northern Qi period. Most unusually, the present carving still retains much of its original pigments.
