Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a statue of Seated Buddha by an unknown artist. The statue depicts Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower-shaped base with his hands in his lap. The base is square and has decorative cutouts along the front edge. The statue's right hand rests on its right knee with fingers extended downward. The left hand rests on top of the right hand. The statue has a serene expression on its face and is adorned with a robe draped over its left shoulder. The head is topped with a tall, pointed crown. The background is a plain wall.
