Seated Maitreya
Seated Maitreya. The image shows a dark-colored statue of a person sitting on a rectangular base. The person has a slender body and sits cross-legged with the left leg on top of the right leg. The left arm is bent at the elbow and rests on the left leg. The right arm hangs down over the right leg. The person has a tall, pointed topknot on their head and two buns on either side of the head. The face is serene with a subtle smile. The statue appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze. The rectangular base has a wood grain-like texture and appears to be made of stone or wood. The background is light gray.
