Shakyamuni Descending from the Mountains (Shussan Shaka)
The image depicts Shakyamuni Descending from the Mountains, or Shussan Shaka, by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts a small figure with a serene expression. The figure is wearing a long robe with folds and creases. The robe is draped over the left shoulder and across the body. The right shoulder is bare. The figure's hands are clasped together in front of the chest. The figure's hair is styled in a topknot. The sculpture appears to be made of a dark brown material, possibly wood or metal, with gold accents around the face and on the robe. The background of the image is a plain gray color, providing a neutral backdrop for the sculpture. A shadow falls to the right of the sculpture.
