Meditating Buddha Attended by Two Bodhisattvas

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts a central figure seated cross-legged on a platform with hands resting on top of each other in lap. The figure wears a simple robe that covers the left shoulder and chest, with folds of fabric hanging down. To the left and right of the central figure are two smaller figures standing. The figure on the left wears a dhoti with folds of fabric gathered at the waist and flowing down. Their right arm hangs down by the side with a cloth draped over it while their left arm and hands are not clearly visible. The figure on the right wears a similar dhoti with their right arm bent at the elbow and their left hand not clearly visible. The sculpture appears to be made from stone with visible texture. The background behind the sculpture is a solid-colored wall with a shelf underneath the sculpture.
