Seated Bodhisattva with Combined Halo and Mandorla
Seated Bodhisattva with Combined Halo and Mandorla by unknown artist. The image shows a sculpture of a figure sitting cross-legged on a flat surface. The figure is depicted in a seated position with legs folded. The figure has the right hand resting on top of the left hand, palms facing upwards. The figure wears a long robe with folds and creases visible. Behind the figure is a large, circular halo that blends with an oval mandorla, both are not perfectly defined. The figure's facial features are simple and serene. The sculpture appears to be made of stone or clay and has a rough texture. The background of the image is a gradient of dark to light gray. The sculpture casts a shadow on the surface below. The overall appearance of the sculpture suggests it is an old, weathered piece.
