Original – The Gilt-bronze Maitreya in Meditation is a gilt-bronze statue of what is believed to be the Maitreya, the future Buddha, in a semi-seated contemplative pose. It is commonly referred to as the Contemplative Bodhisattva or Gilt-Bronze Seated Maitreya in English. It is the National Treasure of Korea No. 83.

Reason

Very strong image, with an article on the statue, and the image used in a bunch of related articles. Besides, we have too few statues

• Comment Very nice, but I think the white, small point-like foreign objects on the cloth on which the statue is placed should be cloned out to better focus on the very nicely depicted statue. -- Slaunger (talk) 16:06, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

• Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:27, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

• Support. Nice and quite unusual to. This pensive atitude is not the general way of representing a Bodhisattva or Buddha, very interesting. Hafspajen (talk) 11:52, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
