Buddha’s hand

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The sculpture "Buddha's hand" by an unknown artist depicts a white jade carving resembling a plant or tree with wavy branches on a black wooden base. The jade piece is white with a subtle sheen, featuring many curved and twisted sections that taper towards the base. It has a smooth texture and appears polished. The base is made of dark wood, with a design resembling roots or vines. The jade piece is placed on top of the base. The background is a gradient transitioning from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
