Gilded bronze standing Buddha statue with raised right hand and flame-like topknot on a dark stepped base.

Buddha

A gilded copper-alloy statue shows a standing Buddha with a flame-like topknot and serene face, wearing a clinging robe with fine wave-like incised folds. His right hand is raised in a gesture of reassurance, and he stands on a lotus base over a stepped dark wooden pedestal against a plain gray background.
