This is an intricate Buddhist shrine or stele, likely from medieval South Asia. The artwork features a central Buddha figure seated in meditation pose (padmasana) within an elaborate architectural frame. The Buddha is depicted with traditional iconographic features including an ushnisha (cranial protuberance) and wearing simple robes.

The shrine is richly decorated with multiple tiers of smaller figures and ornate carvings. On either side of the main Buddha figure are smaller Buddhist deities and bodhisattvas arranged in neat rows. The top of the shrine features a decorative arch with what appears to be a scene of the reclining Buddha. The base has a series of narrative panels showing various Buddhist scenes.

The piece appears to be made of stone or metal with a brownish-golden patina, suggesting significant age. This type of detailed Buddhist shrine was common in medieval Indian art, particularly during the Pala period (8th-12th centuries CE) in eastern India. It serves both as a devotional object and as a comprehensive visual representation of Buddhist cosmology and teachings.

The craftsmanship is exceptional, with careful attention paid to architectural details, figure modeling, and the overall balanced composition of the piece. Such shrines would have been used in Buddhist temples or monasteries for worship and meditation.
