Votive Tablet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Tan-colored, weathered votive tablet with a rounded top and flat bottom. The tablet features 3 figures. The central figure sits cross-legged on a lotus flower in a meditative pose with hands in lap, wearing a robe. The figure has a rounded head with a dot on the forehead and a halo-like shape around the head. Two smaller figures on either side of the central figure, both standing with hands raised and wearing robes. The background of the tablet features a tree with leaves and branches. The tablet appears to be made of clay or stone. It is titled "Votive Tablet" by an unknown artist.
