这尊菩萨可被辨识为弥勒，依据是其左手所持圣水瓶的瓶口，以及其顶部环绕的发髻——这一发型在弥勒形象中颇为常见。台座之上，供养人像正礼拜一尊佛舍利容器，该舍利容器置于宝帐之下的低矮宝座上。

This bodhisattva can be identified as Maitreya by the lip of the sacred water flask in his left hand and by his loop topknot, a hairstyle common to Maitreya images. On the base, donor figures venerate a Buddhist reliquary that rests on a low throne under a canopy.
