Buddhas of the Past and Maitreya Bodhisattva
Schist
過去七佛及彌勒菩薩像
巴基斯坦
在古犍陀羅地區佛教美術中，除了以釋迦牟尼佛為主題的造像外，亦出現了表現其他諸佛的作品。此浮雕七佛造像依序為毗婆尸佛、尸棄佛、毗舍浮佛、拘留孫佛、拘那舍牟尼佛、迦葉佛及釋迦牟尼佛，彌勒菩薩將於未來降生成佛，通常排列在最後。該作品上方及左側均有殘損，目前僅剩六尊佛像。佛均正面，並排站立，右手施無畏印，袈裟有通肩式或偏袒右肩。
圖最左端綰髻披髮、佩飾瓔珞、左手提水瓶的為彌勒菩薩。造像上方殘存懸垂諸佛寶蓋。下方刻有佉盧文（Kharosthi）銘文，意為「供養一切諸佛」。
