From the object’s description on artsmia.org:
“Buddhist scripture describes how Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, stroked or patted the head of disciples who had received his teachings, a practice known today in China as moding. This sandstone plaque, which may have been part of a group of plaques showing scenes from the life of the Buddha, depicts such a scene.”
