Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a statue of Buddha. The statue depicts Buddha sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower base, with his hands in his lap. He wears a robe draped over his left shoulder. His legs are tucked under him, with the left foot resting on top of the right. The statue sits on a two-tiered base shaped like a lotus flower. The upper tier has rounded petals, and the lower tier consists of small spheres. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The text "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM" appears at the bottom right. A small number "44" is superimposed on the statue's chest.
