Chinese Carved Stone Buddhist Shrine with Seated Buddha and Attendant Figures. 

Carved stone Buddhist shrine depicting a centrally seated Buddha figure positioned on a lotus pedestal, with the right hand raised in abhaya mudra. The figure is set within a recessed architectural niche surmounted by an openwork canopy densely populated with small standing figures arranged in vertical tiers. Flanking the central Buddha are standing attendant figures, each carved in relief beneath arched halos. The upper register is composed of layered figural and foliate elements forming a sculptural canopy that integrates architectural framing with devotional imagery. The rectangular base is carved in high relief with guardian animals, small standing figures at the corners, and a central lotus blossom motif, accompanied by scrolling vegetal decoration across the lower register. The composition demonstrates pronounced depth, dense figural arrangement, and hierarchical scaling of figures. {Approximate dimensions: height 31 inches}.

The stone surface presents a light buff coloration with areas of natural weathering, surface wear, and softened contours consistent with prolonged age and exposure. No visible decorative elements are observed on the reverse.
