Description: The Buddha Shakyamuni stands in gentle contrapposto, a slight bend in the right knee, the heavy upper robe covering both shoulders, the lower robe falling just above the ankles. The heartshaped face is framed by wavy hair drawn into a low chignon on top of the head, also drawing attention to the Buddha’s ushnisha — a cranial protuberance which is one of the lakshana of his supernal nature. Incised eyes are slightly downcast, suggesting an inward presence. Befitting a sculpture of nearly two millennia, there is wear to the surface — the nose, robes, ankles, and feet show minor damage, as well as a rich patina.
