Publisher: National Museum, New Delhi
Description: The wooden painted Buddha is seen in a crosslegged position on a round pedestal. The hands are postured in the Dharam Chakrapravarthan Mudra (preaching gesture). This mudra denotes the first sermon of Buddha at Sarnath. The ornate circular halo around his head depicts floral and vegetal motifs with corrugated ends. He is shown wearing a thick robe that is covering both his shoulders. The facial and bodily features reflect the indigenous phenotypical influences such as a short neck, inflated nostrils, thick lips, and short body stature.
