The intricate details carved into the stone bring forth a sense of reverence and spirituality that resonates with viewers.

The delicate features, such as his elongated earlobes symbolizing enlightenment, serve as reminders of Buddhist teachings and principles. This powerful representation reminds us of Buddhism's enduring influence on art throughout history. It serves as a testament to both Chinese craftsmanship and religious devotion during an era marked by division.
