Seated Shakyamuni Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts Seated Shakyamuni Buddha by an unknown artist. The Buddha is seated cross-legged on a throne-like chair with a high back. The figure has a serene expression and closed eyes, adorned with earrings and a topknot. His right hand is raised in front of his chest, while his left hand rests on his knee. A smaller figure stands to the left, seemingly interacting with the Buddha. The sculpture is made of reddish-brown stone and sits atop a brown wooden base. A small dog-like creature is carved at the base of the throne. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray to white.
