Walking Buddha
The Walking Buddha figurine, by an unknown artist, depicts a serene figure carved from a light-colored material, likely ivory or bone, with a smooth texture. The figurine features the Buddha standing on a flat base, with one arm bent at the elbow, palm facing outward, while the other hand rests on the chest. He wears a simple, draped robe that falls in folds to his feet. The Buddha's facial expression is calm with eyes cast downward. Seven smaller figures are carved around the central figure: one below to the left, three above, and two to the right. The background is a plain gray color.
