Shakyamuni Triad: Buddha Attended by Manjushri and Samantabhadra (Bodhisattva with Lion)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a Buddhist painting with a central figure of Buddha surrounded by two attendants. The Buddha sits cross-legged on a throne-like seat atop a large lion, wearing a green robe with red lining and a white cloth over his lap. He has a serene expression and a halo around his body. Behind him are clouds and a large cloud-like shape at the top center. The lion has a green and red design on its body and appears to be walking. At the bottom of the image, two smaller figures stand, one on the left with a green and red outfit and the other on the right with a pinkish-white outfit and a green and orange hat. The background of the painting is dark brown, and a gold patterned border surrounds the entire image.
