Standing Bodhisattva

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Standing Bodhisattva by an unknown artist depicts a figure of a person with a serene facial expression. The figure is wearing a tall, cylindrical hat and has a neutral expression with slightly closed eyes. The figure is dressed in robes that are intricately carved, with folds and creases suggesting texture and movement. The robes are draped over the shoulders and around the body, with one arm covered and the other partially covered, holding a round object. The statue appears to be made of stone or clay and has a weathered appearance, with visible signs of aging and wear. The statue is mounted on a black square base. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
