Maitreya Buddha
Gilt bronze
比丘僧□□普貴造彌勒佛立像
中國
佛高肉髻，髮紋精細，臉長圓，寬額，五官清晰，面露笑容。頸長肩寬，身軀結實，披搭袈裟，偏袒右肩，衣褶線條細密勻稱，棱條凸出，表現衣服質地柔軟。右手屈臂施無畏印，左手垂下，立於覆蓮台上。蓮瓣形大背光內層圈帶上浮雕五尊化佛，圈內光面無紋，外層作火焰紋，無頭光。蓮台下為四足方台，正面淺刻供養人像及花鳥。整體造像深受山西大同雲岡石窟早期佛像風格之影響，鑄造精美，保存完好，具較高的藝術價值，為北魏（386～534）太和式金銅立像的經典之作。
該像背光後面銘刻發願文「大魏太和廿二年五月肥如縣（今河北盧龍）比丘僧□□普貴為父母造彌勒像一軀史父亡者生天□語諸佛□生西方妙洛國土龍華化生樹下三會說法」。
