Tile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a weathered stone tile with a relief carving of Buddha by an unknown artist. The rectangular tile has a seated Buddha in the center, positioned cross-legged on a decorative base. The figure wears a robe draped over one shoulder, with hands resting on the lap. A large halo surrounds the figure's head and back. The tile's surface exhibits a worn, aged appearance with patches of green patina. The background of the image is a gradient gray.
