Français : Reliquaire (prov. stupa de Bimaran), N-O Gandhara. Maitreya de face, les cheveux au vent, portant le dhoti, un cordon attaché à son épaule droite et portant des bracelets. Il est encadré par des figures nimbées de profil faisant le signe d'hommage (anjali mudrā) à Buddha (visible sur l'autre face). Ces deux figures ont été identifiées comme étant Sakra et Brahma. Or et grenats, H. 6,5 cm. Vers 50 de notre ère . Deux groupes de trois figures sont séparés par la représentation d'un dévot en adoration vu de face. Chaque groupe de trois se compose de deux déités en dévotion, vues de profil, entourant une image de Bouddha, vu de face avec un léger hanchement.
