Buddha Offering Protection
The sculpture depicts Buddha with a serene expression, eyes closed. The figure wears a long robe that falls to the ankles, with the right shoulder exposed. The hair is styled in a distinctive topknot. The right hand is raised to chest level with palm facing outwards, while the left hand hangs by the side. The figure stands barefoot on a round base adorned with a decorative pattern. The material appears to be a dark green metal, likely bronze, with visible signs of aging and wear.
