O soše
Seated Buddha, a twelfth-century wooden sculpture in Cleveland's Museum of Art, once received worship in a small temple near Kōfukuji in Nara. Hollowed wooden sections were assembled, lacquered, and gilded. The right hand offers reassurance against fear. The left is a replacement, leaving its original identifying gesture unknown. An exposed left foot in the lotus posture suggests either Yakushi Nyorai, the healing Buddha, or Shakyamuni, the Buddha of the present age. The lost hand prevents a firmer identification. On view in gallery 235B.
Slovy muzea
Composed of a number of hollowed-out pieces of wood that were then covered with lacquer and gilding, this sculpture served as an image of worship in one of the small temples surrounding Kōfukuji, a major Buddhist temple in Nara, Japan. Like many Buddhas, this figure has its right hand positioned in a gesture meaning "fear not." The left hand is a replacement, so its original gesture, a clue to this Buddha's identity, is unknown. However, as the left foot is exposed over the garment, in lotus position, it may have been created as a Medicine Master Buddha, Yakushi Nyorai in Japanese, or the Buddha of our era, Shakyamuni.
