The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A ceramic statue depicts a man with a bald head and short green hair on the sides, wearing a long robe with yellow and green colors. The statue shows the man with a focused expression, hands clasped in prayer or contemplation. The figure sits on a base with the same color scheme as the robe. The background transitions from dark grey at the top to light grey at the bottom. Title: Par nirvana (death and transcendence of the Buddha) and attendant arhats. Artist: Qiao Bin.
