Sakyamuni (died 5th century B.C.), the historical Buddha, is shown seated on a lotus throne between his favourite disciples, Maudgalyayana and Sariputra. Below them are two Buddhist scholars, at right Fa-hsien (5th cent. A.D.) and left, Dharmatala (7th cent. A.D.). Above are sixteen Arhats, saintly disciples who preach Buddhist Law until the advent of Maitreya, the future Buddha.
