Ananda

CHINA; Tang dynasty (618–907), late 7th–early 8th century; Gilt bronze; H: 13.5 cm; National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan
This statue, created around the late 7th or early 8th centuries, is identified as Ananda and probably belonged to a group of statues accompanying a Buddha along with Mahakasyapa due to the mortise hole found below the pedestal.
　 The figure's shaved head is disproportionately large and tilted to one side. A monastic robe is worn with the folds falling naturally down the body.
