Figure of a Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Figure of a Buddha by an unknown artist shows a black statue of Buddha sitting cross-legged on a round base. The statue is black with a glossy finish. The base has a rounded shape with curved lines around the bottom edge. The figure sits with legs crossed and hands resting on the lap. The right hand rests on top of the left hand. The face has a serene expression with eyes cast downward. The hair is styled in tight curls on top of the head. The ears are long and hang down to the shoulders. The neck is adorned with what appears to be a necklace. The background is light gray.
