Statuette of Bodhisattva

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Statuette of Bodhisattva by unknown artist depicts a standing figure with a tall, pointed crown on their head. The figure has a long, draped robe wrapped around the body, with one shoulder exposed. The right hand grasps a long staff, while the left hand hangs by the side. The figure stands on a square base with a small lip around the edge and a recessed section in the center. The statuette appears to be made of dark-colored stone or metal, with a weathered and worn appearance. The figure stands barefoot. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
