Akshobhya: the Buddha of the East

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bronze statue depicts Akshobhya: the Buddha of the East sitting cross-legged on a tiered plinth with his right hand resting on his knee and his left hand resting on his lap. The figure's face is serene with a subtle smile and closed eyes. He has a distinctive coiffure of tightly curled hair. He wears a simple robe draped over his left shoulder. The figure sits on a rounded rectangular tier decorated with scrolling motifs. The tier sits on a square base with projecting legs featuring ornate carvings of mythical creatures on each side. The background is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
