Guo Yuanbin made a stone statue of Bodhisattva

[Guo Yuanbin’s Stone Bodhisattva]

Guo Yuanbin’s Stone Bodhisattva, Eastern Wei Dynasty, 48.5 cm high
The bodhisattva wears a crown on his head, a monk’s branch inside, and a silk cloth outside. The silk cloth wears a wall on his belly, and folds back to his elbow. Hold the lotus bud in the right hand and lift it up. Hold the peach shape in the left hand and hang down. Stand upright on the inverted lotus base with bare feet. The bas-relief Huasheng boy holds the censer, and the outside is a squatting lion facing each other. The lotus carved on the lion’s ridge is quite novel. On the back of the base is engraved with a vow: “On October 5, the third year of Wuding, the Buddha disciple Guo Yuanbin made a jade statue (body) for his father’s ex-wife, which is seven feet high, the dead are born in heaven, and now they are rich, Maitreya will meet three times, and become Buddha at one time.”
