Chinese Buddhist Stone Stele Relief of a Bodhisattva

This is a tall, rectangular high-relief stone carving depicting a standing Buddhist figure, likely a Bodhisattva, carved into a dark grey, fine-grained stone such as limestone or schist. The figure is depicted in a graceful, slightly contrapposto stance, adorned with traditional liturgical garments including a long dhoti with rhythmic, U-shaped drapery folds and a celestial scarf (tenne) that billows around the arms and cascades down the sides. The figure wears elaborate jewelry, including a pectoral necklace and heavy bracelets. The facial expression is serene with downcast eyes, characteristic of the Northern Qi or Sui Dynasty aesthetic (approx. 6th-7th Century AD). The figure stands atop a lotus pedestal. In the background, there are faint traces of a mandorla or nimbus featuring flame motifs. The stone exhibits significant natural weathering and a variegated patina with hints of earth-toned encrustations. There are visible abrasions to the extremities, particularly the raised right hand and the edges of the stele, indicating age and environmental exposure. The craftsmanship shows sophisticated chiseling, particularly in the fluid depiction of textiles and the stylized ruyi-pattern on the belt. The irregular, rough-hewn edges suggest this may have been part of a larger temple wall or grotto installation.
