Seated Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark gray metal statue of the Seated Buddha by an unknown artist. The statue depicts a figure with a serene expression sitting cross-legged on a clear rectangular base. The figure's eyes are closed, and it has a small nose and mouth. It has a distinctive hairstyle that is pulled back and upwards, with a small bump on top of the head. The figure is adorned with large earlobes. A circular halo surrounds the head, with spikes protruding from it. The figure's hands are placed on its lap. The background of the image is black.
