Standing Buddha

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Standing Buddha by an unknown artist depicts a statue of Buddha standing on a square base adorned with a lotus pattern. The statue has a bun hairstyle on top of head with hanging side locks. The figure wears a long robe that covers one shoulder and exposes the other. The right hand is raised with the palm facing outwards and the left hand is extended downwards with the palm facing inwards. The statue is cast in dark metal, presumably bronze. The figure's facial expression appears calm with closed eyes.
