From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
This pair of bodhisattvas flanking the larger standing Buddha in this triad came from a temple near the city of Dingzhou in northern China. While the bodhisattvas were not made to accompany this particular Buddha, the three sculptures are about the same age and were carved in a style unique to the Northern Qi dynasty. We have displayed them together to show how a typical triad of icons would have appeared in a Chinese temple of this period. Asia
