From the museum
Among the earliest of its kind surviving from mainland Southeast Asia, this Buddha once sat on an elaborate throne, which was cast separately. His right hand is in the teaching gesture, and his left hand holds the end of his beautifully articulated pleated garment. The body of this perfected being stands out as a smooth, idealized form.
