Seated Bodhisattva, Possibly Padmapani
The sculpture depicts a seated figure with a serene expression, eyes cast downward. The figure wears a crown-like structure on its head, adorned with a central motif resembling a flower or sunburst. Two braids or locks of hair are visible on either side of the face. The figure is dressed in draped clothing, with multiple necklaces and bracelets. The hands are clasped together in the lap. A large circular object, possibly a halo, is behind the figure's back. A smaller, intricately carved piece is positioned above this circular object. The sculpture sits on a rectangular base. The entire piece appears to be made of stone. Seated Bodhisattva, Possibly Padmapani, by unknown artist.
