Votive tablet with bodhisattva

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Votive tablet with bodhisattva depicts a figure carved from beige-colored material, possibly stone or wood. The bodhisattva has long hair and wears a crown on their head. They are dressed in a long robe with folds and creases carved into the material. The figure has their hands raised in front of them, with palms facing outwards. Their right leg is slightly bent. A decorative element is visible on the base. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the carving.
