Standing Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a weathered stone statue of the Standing Buddha. The figure has a serene expression with eyes closed and a subtle smile. The hair is styled in a tall, rounded bun adorned with small red and gold details. The right hand is raised in a gesture with palm facing outward, while the left arm hangs down. The figure wears a long robe with folds visible on the right side; the left arm is partially obscured. A portion of the statue's lower left side appears damaged or broken off. The statue stands on a black base against a dark background.
