Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a statue of the Seated Buddha by an unknown artist. The statue depicts a figure with a tall, conical hairdo that tapers to a point at the top. The figure has long earlobes that hang down to the shoulders. The figure is sitting cross-legged on a rectangular base with both hands resting on the knees. The figure wears a draped garment that covers the left shoulder and chest. The figure's facial features include a small nose and a subtle, closed-mouth smile. The statue appears to be made of stone and has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging. The background of the image is a plain white surface.
