What the image shows
A large statue of a standing figure carved into a rocky outcrop.
Generated by LinkedCulture from the photograph alone, without the museum’s catalogue text (Qwen/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct), and not yet reviewed by a person. It describes the picture, not the object’s history, and it is not part of the museum’s record.
From the Getty Museum record
Two men stand at the foot of a rock relief carved onto the side of a cliff. The carving depicts a four-armed Maitreya, a bodhisattva figure. Two more men can be seen in the foreground on the lower left area of the image.
The authoritative record is held by Getty Museum. LinkedCulture surfaces this object and its connections; it does not alter institutional metadata.
