Maitreya: The Buddha of the Future

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Maitreya: The Buddha of the Future statue depicts a human figure made of bronze or metal with a green patina. The figure stands on a square base with a stepped profile and has a tall, ornate headdress. The figure has long earlobes and a serene facial expression. It wears a short skirt or dhoti with folds and a belt around the waist. The arms are bent at the elbows with hands facing outward and palms up. The figure is barefoot and casts a shadow on the gray surface it's standing on. The background is dark gray to black. Searching for a similar image would involve keywords such as bronze statue, green patina, Buddhist sculpture, Maitreya, Buddha, tall headdress, serene face, short skirt, barefoot, and square base.
