Buddhist Halo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark gray metal object with a large circular mirror-like area surrounded by a leaf-like border. The border has a flame-like design with small points around the edge. A figure of a man with a large head and a long body stands to the right of the circle. He has a large nose and mouth and appears to be wearing a crown-like object on his head. His right arm is extended to the left, touching the circle. He wears a short dhoti and has a belt around his waist. His left arm hangs down by his side, and he holds an object. A smaller figure is behind him to the left. The top of the object has a pointed design with a small figure at the very top. The background is a beige fabric or wall. The title of the piece is "Buddhist Halo" by an unknown artist.
