# Figure of Maitreya

Standing Maitreya in abhaya and holding a water pot. The uttarīya is in the narrow mode and covers the upper left arm like a short sleeve with a thicker lower edge or band, perhaps drawn into the shoulder loop from which a thin length emerges to pass over the forearm to join a wide fall of drapery behind.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 100–299 CE
