Zijin Temple: Arhat
CHINA, Jiangsu, Suzhou; Song dynasty
The Arhat has a large, flat nose and is bearded and mustached. The figure has shoulder-length hair. The collar of the monastic robe hangs down low to reveal the chest and the inner garment underneath. The figure is seated at ease on a rock with ankles crossed and hands placed naturally on the knees, a posture not normally seen.
