This is a stone statue of Monju Bosatsu. Monju Bosatsu, one of Buddha's disciples, is represented as a young man. He is seated on a lotus and wears jeweled accessories.His arms are broken and gone, but what pose was he in? I would like to see the original in the Amsterdam Museum in the Netherlands.
