Zar Dheri Temple: Maitreya Bodhisattva and Followers
Schist
彌勒菩薩及供養人像
巴基斯坦西北邊境省哈扎拉札爾泰里佛寺遺址出土
一九九九年巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省哈扎拉（Hazara, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa）札爾泰里（Zar Dheri）佛寺遺址出土。縱長方形浮雕嵌板，上下端有榫頭。畫面中人物分上下兩層排列。彌勒菩薩位於下層右方，腦後頭光較小，頭髮編辮盤起，綰高髮髻，大眼高鼻，蓄髭，左手提水瓶。菩薩身後有侍者為其撐傘，再後緊隨一人合掌。上層四人各披聖帶，著短裙，執水瓶，屬婆羅門形象，均跟隨菩薩向畫面右方行進，儼然尊貴人物隆重的出行，前呼後擁，熱鬧非凡，以簡單的構圖、率性自然的舉止，表達了對佛陀和菩薩的無限崇信。
據考古隊的發掘，另出土一件以觀音菩薩為主題的作品，人物均朝向左方前進，與此浮雕相對應，應屬同一組合的作品，惟中間的主尊佛陀造像至今未曾發現。
