Description
The figure is damaged, missing both lower arms, head and feet. The sculpture represents the standing figure of the Buddha and, in its original condition, would have had both hands raised in the gesture of exposition or disputation. The figure is clad in the unadorned robes of a monk. The monastic robes cling to the figure-defining its form clearly although, in keeping with the Indian convention this style follows.
