Votive stele with Buddha and bodhisattvas
Not on view
This votive stele probably comes from Hebei or Shandong province, where limestone is abundant and where Buddhism flourished during the Northern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties. Recent excavations in both provinces have yielded numerous examples, many of which still retain their pigment and gilding.
