This Buddhist triad backed by a large high-relief boat-shaped mandorla is an example of Buddhist steles from the region of Qingzhou, Shandong. The Buddha stands barefoot on a lotus pedestal at the center of the triad. An intricately carved halo encircles his head and high spiral topknot. His loose belted robe is worn over an inner robe with a knot in the middle. The attendant bodhisattvas flanking the Buddha wear crowns with ribbons flowing down the sides, and shawls draping over their shoulders. Strings of jewels are crossed in an X-shape over their abdomens. Right below the tip of the boat-shaped mandorla are high-reliefs of a soaring dragon with a lotus flower in its mouth, flanked by four flying celestials playing musical instruments.
