Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a statue of Seated Buddha by an unknown artist. The statue depicts a figure with a tall, pointed topknot, small ears, and a serene facial expression. The figure sits cross-legged on a multi-tiered base, with the legs tucked under the body and the hands resting on the knees. The body appears to be wearing a simple garment that exposes the right shoulder. The statue appears to be made of stone or metal and has a weathered appearance. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
