Buddhist Trinity on Cushions

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a sculpture titled "Buddhist Trinity on Cushions" by an unknown artist. Three stone statues of Buddha-like figures sit cross-legged on round cushions. Each figure has a tall, pointed topknot and wears similar clothing. The figures have their hands placed together in front of them, with the middle figure's hands in a prayer-like position and the outer figures' hands holding an object. The statues are made of gray stone and have a rough texture. They are arranged on a rectangular base with a flat top and sloping sides. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
