Standing Buddha, Sakyamuni
Maker: Unknown
Standing Buddha. Gilt-bronze. This standing figure shows the Buddha with the right and left hands in the abbaya (fear not) and the varada (wish-granting) mudra, with a small round usnisa on top of the head, and wearing a robe which covers both shoulders and forms U-shaped folds in front. The figure is hollow inside. The back, which is open like many small Korean bronze figures, has a projecting loop to which originally a nimbus or aureole would have been attached. The figure has lost the left foot and its pedestal, and much of the gilding has been worn.
