Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a black and white photograph of a seated Buddha statue. The statue is made of dark gray stone. The Buddha sits cross-legged on a rectangular base with his hands resting on his lap. He wears a robe draped over his left shoulder and a conical hat. The base has a decorative design around the edges. A large, pointed archway with a leaf-like pattern surrounds the Buddha. The archway is intricately carved with details. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The statue sits on a light-colored surface.
