Statuette of Bodhisattva

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Statuette of Bodhisattva by an unknown artist depicts a standing figure with a serious expression. The figure wears a crown on top of their head and has medium-length hair. They have earrings and wear a necklace and a long-sleeved top with a sash around the waist. The figure's skirt is long and pleated, with folds carved into the fabric. Their right arm hangs down by their side, while their left arm is bent at the elbow. The figure stands on a square base with a small lip around the edge. The base has a decorative edge with small feet. The entire statuette appears to be made of dark-colored stone or metal.
