(c) Maitreya, the future Buddha—though not yet born, he is represented alright (cf. Gandhara Sculpture and a colossal image at Uddiyana). He is at present passing the life of a Bodhisattva in Tuṣitā heaven and would descend to the earth full 4000 years after the disappearance of Gautama Buddha for the deliverance of all sentient beings.
