Crowned Buddha Seated on a Multi-Headed Naga, Bronze
A dark bronze figure of a crowned, meditating Buddha sits in lotus-like posture on coiled serpent bodies, sheltered by a many-headed naga hood with carved cobra heads. The seated figure rests on a rectangular plinth, and the patinated surface shows the sculptor's modeling of the face, jewelry, and draped garment.
