A Preaching Buddha

Cleveland Museum of Art

The bronze sculpture depicts A Preaching Buddha by artist. The Buddha is seated cross-legged on a lotus flower base. The figure has a serene expression with eyes closed and a subtle smile. The right hand is raised in front of the chest, and the left hand rests on the lap. The figure wears a robe draped over the left shoulder, with folds carved in detail. A distinctive protuberance tops the head. The sculpture sits atop a rectangular wooden base. The background is dark, transitioning from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
