Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sculpture of a seated figure with multiple arms, adorned with jewelry and a crown, sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower. The figure has four arms, with the front right arm bent at the elbow and the hand resting on the knee, and the front left arm extended outward with the palm facing upwards. The other two arms are also bent at the elbows. The figure wears a crown and various types of jewelry, including necklaces and armlets. The figure's hair appears to be styled in an elaborate fashion. The sculpture features an intricately carved archway behind the figure, which is decorated with floral patterns and other designs. The archway is pointed at the top and has a flat base. The base of the sculpture is rectangular and features carvings of small figures and floral patterns. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface on which the sculpture rests. Overall, the sculpture appears to be a representation of Bodhisattva of Compassion as Lokeshvara the Sky Flyer.
