Bodhisattva

A headless standing torso of a Buddhist figure carved in pale stone, wearing a beaded necklace and crossed sashes with tassels over a long, pleated skirt. The figure stands on a carved lotus pedestal above a round, petal-edged base, its smooth surfaces softened by age.

Look closer: Tassels hang from the knotted sashes at the hip, partly hidden in shadow.
