Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a seated Buddha. The statue is dark gray and made of stone. The figure sits cross-legged on a rectangular base with the right leg on top of the left. The hands are stacked one on top of the other in the lap. The face has a serene expression with eyes closed and eyebrows that curve down. The hair is styled in a tall, rounded topknot with a pattern of horizontal lines. Two earlobes are visible on the sides of the head. The figure wears a simple, draped garment that covers the left shoulder. The background is light grey.
