This is a cast iron figure of Buddha. The face profile is well balance, with a down gaze peaceful look. The expression is kind yet solemn. The round Braid on the curry hair is relatively low. With the hands rest on the thigh holding a cup shape, it is in a Buddhist dhyana mudra hand posture. A swastika (wan) symbol is on his bare chest. The drape is loosely hung in a natural and pretty manner.
He is seating in dhyanasana on a lotus throne. It is a double layered platform. The petals are relatively thin and short. Traces of lacquer can be seen all over the iron figure.

Circa Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
