Wikipedia notes that "images can often be divided into 'iconic images,' just showing one or more figures, and 'narrative images' showing moments from an episode or story involving sacred figures." Browsing by object-type lets a visitor tell a single-figure image from a story scene.FactsSculpture or StatuarySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of OriginWell-attested450 BCE 1Sculpture or StatuaryFilter Results23 entriesIn GroupAllTibetan Buddhist Metal Sculpture (5)TraditionAllBuddhism (15)Hinduism (1)MediumAllBrass (1)Brass with pigments (1)Bronze (1)Bronze inlaid with silver and copper (1)Calligraphic mandala incised on camphorwood (1)Carved sandstone relief (1)Cast bronze with gold gilding (1)Cast metal, multipiece construction (1)Clay with pigments and gold leaf (1)Copper alloy with copper and silver inlay (1)Dolomite marble (1)Gilded copper alloy with paint (1)Sandstone (1)Statue, Nepal, 17th to 18th century (1)Stone (1)Art TraditionAllTibetan Buddhist Metal Sculpture (5)PlaceAllBihar (1)China (1)India (2)Japan (1)Kashmir (1)Tibet (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 23Avalokiteshvara Padmapani (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1974.273)Sculpture or StatuaryBirth of the Buddha Shakyamuni (Gandhara, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1987.417.1)Sculpture or StatuaryBrahmarupa Mahakala (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2007.1)Sculpture or StatuaryBuddha Maitreya with Ananda and Kasyapa (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 68.124)Sculpture or StatuaryBuddha Preaching His First Sermon (Sarnath)Sculpture or StatuaryBuddha Preaching the First Sermon Attended by Maitreya and Padmapani (The Metropolitan Museum of Art)Sculpture or StatuaryBuddhist Teacher and Philosopher Nagarjuna (Tsapa Namgyal, The Walters Art Museum)Sculpture or StatuaryGreat Buddha of NaraSculpture or StatuaryGreen Tara (Choying Dorje, Rubin Museum)Sculpture or StatuaryJizo, Bodhisattva of the Earth Store, the Burke JizoSculpture or StatuaryPortrait of The Great Teacher Marpa (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1995.176)Sculpture or StatuarySakya Lama, Possibly Kunga Tashi (Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art)Sculpture or StatuarySamadhi Statue, Anuradhapura (Mahamevnawa Park, Sri Lanka)Sculpture or StatuarySeated Transcendent Buddha Vairochana (Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1987.142.23)Sculpture or StatuaryStanding Disciple Mahakasyapa Holding a Cylindrical Reliquary (Cleveland Museum of Art, 1972.166)Sculpture or StatuaryStanding Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara Flanked by Tara and Bhrikuti(?)
