Standing Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Standing Buddha by an unknown artist depicts a bronze statue of Buddha standing on a rectangular beige base. The statue has a dark brown patina with gold spots. The figure wears a long robe that falls to the ankles, with the right hand facing outwards and the left hand facing inwards. The head is adorned with a beaded conical headdress. The facial features are serene, with a subtle smile and closed eyes. The figure stands barefoot. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to lighter gray at the bottom.
