| Bodhidharma was an Indian monk who became the First Patriarch of the Chan school in China. He is depicted here with foreign features and has a deepening frown. He has a high forehead, bushy eyebrows, sunken eyes, high cheekbones, a bulbous nose, tight lips, and a beard. A thick, long, and hooded robe envelops his body. He appears to be in deep meditation, sitting in royal ease position with his hands hidden in the voluminous sleeves of the robe. |
