鉴赏：
这尊菩萨身着极为独特的衣饰与珠宝，包括腰衣、腰带以及精致的项饰和宝冠，表明其造型可能源自某种特定的宫廷时尚，或许来自斯瓦特河谷或吉尔吉特地区。其左手持一残缺的净瓶，表明身份为弥勒菩萨，即未来的救度佛陀。莲座与岩石台基并非与佛像同时期之物。

This bodhisattva wears highly unusual costume and jewelry, including a waistcloth, sash, and elaborate necklace and diadem, which suggests it is styled after a particular court fashion, perhaps from the Swat Valley or Gilgit region. The fragmentary water bottle held in his left hand identifies him as Maitreya, the messianic Buddha of the future. The lotus base and rocky pedestal are not contemporary with the figure.
