About this work

This photo shows four objects on a shelf. On the left is a carved stone relief with a seated figure and smaller figures around it. Next to it is a round metal bowl. Then there are three wooden statues: two tall ones with folded hands and one smaller figure, all dressed in robes. The photo itself was taken in 1909 by Alvin Langdon Coburn. The statues look like they’re from Buddhist traditions, with calm, serene poses. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their collection.
