Amerapoora. Gautama's Shrine

Captain Linnaeus Tripe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a shrine. A statue of a person with a third eye on their forehead sits in the centre. The statue wears a long robe. Their left arm rests on their lap, and their right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on their right knee. The statue sits on a platform. A lace-like trim runs across the top of the platform. To the left of the statue, an elephant kneels with its trunk curled. A small pot sits between the elephant and the statue. To the right of the statue, a small figure kneels. The background includes an ornately carved wall with two elephant heads. The wall behind the seated figure appears carved to resemble fabric folds. The overall image is sepia-toned.
