Cleveland Art Museum Eastern Wei Dynasty Stele with Sakyamuni and Bodhisattvas 克利夫兰艺术博物馆东魏释迦摩尼和菩萨造像碑

            1914.567 537 CE From China, Hebei province limestone
Overall: 77.5 x 44.4 cm (30 1/2 x 17 1/2 in.)

According to the inscription, this stele was commissioned in 537 by Yuan'ning, prince of the Gaoping branch of the imperial Wei family, in memory of his deceased consort, in the hope that it would bring her to the Western paradise. It was carved by one of the finest craftsmen in the Eastern Wei capital of Ye in Hebei province.

Here, the Buddha's robe shows a careful arrangement of patterned drapery (large U-shaped folds and scallop-shaped folds at the hem), combining linear rhythms with an ordered symmetry. Soaring flames edge the mandorla (almond-shaped halo), echoing the linear eloquence of Chinese painting.
