Standing bodhisattva
The sculpture depicts a standing bodhisattva by an unknown artist. The figure is carved from stone and appears to be a light brown color with darker areas indicating wear or shadow. The bodhisattva has no head, with a flat surface where the head would be. The figure has both arms bent at the elbow, with fists clenched and facing forward. The bodhisattva wears a long, flowing robe with vertical folds down the front and a beaded necklace that hangs around the neck and down the center of the body. The necklace has a large pendant in the center and a beaded tassel hanging from the pendant. The figure stands barefoot on a small square base. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
