Genii Gama Sennin and Tekkai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two statues of men in traditional Japanese clothing. The standing man on the left has a beard and is wearing a robe with wide sleeves. He is barefoot and wearing a sash around his waist over a garment with a pattern. The standing man is looking up and to the right with one elbow bent and his hand on his face. The seated man on the right is dressed similarly, crouching on a rock or stool. He stares up at the other man and holds an object.
