About This Piece
Shakyamuni sits in meditation on a lotus seat within a tapering oval outline. Fine halo lines and a narrow border follow the figure, with the three photographs showing the front at different scales.
Carving details and what to examine
The animal details reward a close view of how small lines meet the larger body forms. A rotated video can show the continuity of the outline and the transition from patterned areas to broader surfaces. The photographs alone do not establish the tools used or the time spent carving.
