Seated Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

A white jade sculpture of Seated Buddha by an unknown artist depicts a seated figure with the eyes closed. The figure has a rounded head with tightly packed small curls forming a protruding topknot. The figure wears a long robe with folds carved into the jade. The figure sits cross-legged with both hands resting on the knees and holding a round object. The background is dark at the top and light at the bottom.
