Archival Note Card | 1300 Series - #6

Seated figure glows amber inside a narrow arched niche.

This archival note card from the 1300 series. It is paper. Buddhist sculpture, especially images of the seated Buddha, has been carried across Asia for well over two thousand years, and its calm faces are among the most widely reproduced in art. Slim photograph of a pale seated statue on a stepped base, hands folded in the lap, set under a tall pointed arch. Warm golden light fills the alcove and the stone shimmers against dark surrounding walls. It is 5 inches long and 7 high.

A small room with a very big presence.
