Seated Buddha with Legs Pendant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray stone statue of a Buddha figure with a serene expression. The figure has short hair styled up with a bun-like structure on top of the head. Ears are covered with earlobes that hang down to the shoulders. The figure is seated cross-legged on a rectangular base. The right hand rests on the knee. The left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand positioned near the chest. The figure appears worn with patches of lighter gray visible on the surface. A light grey platform supports the statue, set against a gradient background transitioning from light gray at the top to white at the bottom.
