Stupa

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Stupa by an unknown artist depicts a small, dark-colored, weathered sculpture of a stupa. The sculpture is made of a material that appears to be bronze or metal and has a green patina. It has a square base with a stepped design and a ladder-like structure on the front. The base supports a rounded section, and above that is a section with four columns that support a tiered roof. The roof has multiple layers, each slightly smaller than the one below it. The background of the image is gray.
