Standing Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A bronze statue of a male figure representing Standing Buddha. The figure has a serene expression with closed eyes and a slight smile. The figure wears a long robe that drapes down to the ankles, with the right arm hanging down by the side and the left arm bent at the elbow. The figure has a distinctive hairstyle with a bun on top of the head and two long strands of hair hanging down on either side of the face. The statue appears to be weathered with a dark brown patina and visible signs of aging. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray.
