Buddha and Worshippers
The rectangular stone carving features a central figure of Buddha sitting cross-legged on a platform with hands resting on knees. The figure has a round face, short hair and wears a robe draped over the shoulders and around the body. A halo of radiating pointed shapes, resembling leaves, surrounds Buddha's head. On the left, a figure stands with hands clasped in prayer, dressed in a long robe; another figure stands on the right in a similar pose. A small figure appears above on the right. The left side features a pillar adorned with a decorative top. The stone is dark gray, with visible signs of aging and wear, set against a light grey background. The title of the artwork is "Buddha and Worshippers".
