Bodhisattva Padmapani Seated in Royal Ease

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Green statue of Bodhisattva Padmapani seated cross-legged on a base in royal ease, left leg resting on right thigh. The figure has a serene facial expression with a slight smile. Long hair flows down the back, and a decorative conical headdress sits atop the head. The figure wears a necklace and short-sleeved top. The right hand rests on the knee, while the left hand lies on the base beside the knee. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom.
