Naga-Enthroned Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a green statue of a Buddha figure, specifically a Naga-Enthroned Buddha. The statue is made of a green material, possibly bronze or copper, with a weathered appearance. The Buddha sits cross-legged on a base with stacked, rounded rectangular sections. The base has a textured pattern resembling scales. The Buddha's legs are crossed, and hands are placed on the knees. The figure wears a necklace, earrings, and a headpiece. Behind the Buddha is an oval-shaped carving featuring multiple figures, including a large cobra-like creature with multiple heads at the top. The background of the image transitions from dark at the top to light gray at the bottom.
