                                                        standing buddha offering protection

         I chose to research  the indian buddha which is at metropolitan museum of art in NYC. This is a beautful picture. The woman is protecing people fron her society or nation.
   according to the metropolitanmuseum of art history http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1979.6  . this images of the buddha's aualities of innder clam and stillness and the product of wisdom. the figure might have made of abhayamudra  gesture with his raised right is missing and dispensing fear and reassurance to the followers. "The musculature and frontal pose are reminiscent of king-warrior-savior figures of preceding centuries and are especially associated with the Kushan period." the hale emanates show the religion repersentation from both natual and supernatural.
