Figure seated on lotiform base

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Figure seated on lotiform base. The figure is a humanoid statue with a serene facial expression, eyes cast downward. The statue has a tall, pointed headdress on top of the head. The figure wears a robe that drapes over both shoulders and has long sleeves; the robe is primarily shades of green and red. The figure sits cross-legged on a base shaped like a lotus flower, with both hands resting on the knees. The base has a flat, dark-colored wooden platform underneath. The entire statue appears weathered with visible signs of aging and wear. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The artist is unknown.
