This Mahayana Buddhist Trinity is composed of a Buddha
seated on the coils of the serpent, Muchalinda, and
protected by the seven hoods. The figures stand on a
base with the meditating Buddha at the center. To his
right stands Lokeshvara, one of the names for the
compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. To his left
is Prajnaparmita, Goddess of Transcendent Wisdom.
The details are good and the condition is excellent-
without restoration or damage. It has a beautiful
multicolored patina.
