Miroku: Future Buddha
The statue depicts Miroku, the Future Buddha, carved from dark gray stone. Miroku stands on a lotus flower base atop an octagonal pedestal. He wears a long robe with folds carved into the fabric, held by a sash, and a headpiece. His right hand holds a small object, possibly a scroll or prayer beads. A large halo surrounds his head and shoulders, attached to an ornate backing with a flame-like design at the top. The figure's face is serene with a subtle smile and closed eyes. The background is black, suggesting a studio setting.
