This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of Maitreya, a future Buddha, from the Ramnagar culture in Ahichatra, Uttar Pradesh. Created by an Indian School artist during the 3rd century, this red sandstone masterpiece measures 66x24 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The image captures Maitreya in all his divine glory, radiating a sense of serenity and enlightenment.

The statue's presence evokes feelings of reverence and awe as one contemplates the profound spiritual teachings it embodies. Through this photograph taken by Dirk Bakker, we are transported to ancient India where gods were worshipped fervently and sculptures served as conduits between humans and their deities.
