Standing Buddha Flanked by Disciples
The image depicts a black and white photograph of a wooden sculpture titled "Standing Buddha Flanked by Disciples." The sculpture is made of weathered wood and features a large central figure with a serene expression. The central figure, presumably the Buddha, stands with hands at chest level and wears a long robe. The figure's head is adorned with a distinctive hairstyle, and the body has a simple, slender build. Behind the Buddha is a large, pointed wooden panel resembling a leaf. On either side of the Buddha are two smaller figures, possibly disciples, with their hands clasped in prayer. The sculpture sits atop a black base, contrasting with the light background that gradates from dark at the top to light at the bottom. The overall appearance suggests an aged, possibly ancient, religious artifact.
