Although mirror images of each other, these two statues likely do not represent the same bodhisattva; they are more probably the popular deities Maitraya and Avalokitesvara. Standing in graceful posture holding the stalk of a lotus flower, they likely formed part of a sculptural triad flanking a larger bronze image of the Buddha.
