Rakan (Arhat) ?
The image depicts a seated figure referred to as Rakan, also known as Arhat. The figure has a large head with a round face, a short neck, and a slight smile. The eyes are small and almost closed. The figure wears a head covering that drapes down to the shoulders, with two green strips of fabric hanging on either side of the face. The figure is dressed in a long robe with a square neckline and long sleeves. The robe is primarily beige with red and gold accents and appears worn and faded. The figure sits with hands resting on knees, and the robe folds are carved to resemble fabric draping over the lap and around the legs. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the center, casting a shadow behind the figure.
