Standing Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a sculpture of a standing Buddha. The sculpture depicts a male figure standing on a rectangular base. The figure has a serene expression on his face with eyes closed. He wears a headpiece with rows of small beads. The figure's right hand is positioned in front of his chest with fingers pointing downwards. The left hand hangs down by his side with the palm facing outwards. The figure wears a loincloth with folds and creases rendered in detail. The figure's right shoulder is bare while his left shoulder has a piece of fabric draped over it. The fabric drapes down his back and has a rough and torn edge. The background is a plain beige wall. The sculpture appears to be made of stone. The sculpture is titled "Standing Buddha" by an unknown artist.
