Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future, symbolizes the hope for spiritual redemption. Here he is depicted delivering a sermon in the company of bodhisattvas and disciples. King Sankha and Queen Syamavati of the Kingdom of Ketumati, where Maitreya will be reborn, heed his call and set an example for others to follow. They are seen sitting to the right and left, and are having their heads shaved to signify their conversion to Buddhism as well as their willingness to renounce their worldly status and riches.

Maitreya, tibeto-chinese, wood

[hinducosmos]

Maitreya Buddha Early 7th century, late Sui-Tang dynasty. China. Gilt-bronze figure 12 ¾ in (32.4 cm) high. (via Christie’s)

‘The concept of the Maitreya is very similar to the Messiah,’ explains Ruben Lien, our Senior Specialist in Chinese Works of Art in Hong Kong. ‘At the end of time, the Maitreya is supposed to come down to earth from heaven to save mankind.’

The early 7th century was a turbulent time in China, which makes a commission such as this extremely rare. It may have been made for someone very wealthy, or even the royal family.
