Figure of Maitreya

Seated Maitreya in abhaya and holding a water pot. The uttarīya is in the wide mode, one end over the right thigh. The paridhāna is shown with a somewhat different scheme of folds on each knee and it falls on the left in three pointed ends over the edge of the seat. The folds are densely and mechanically terraced.
