Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ananda. Tang dynasty, 752 AD. Shanxi Museum

This statue of Shakyamuni's youngest disciple was collected from Foguang Temple on Mt. Wu Tai.

Ananda is traditionally honored as the disciple who compiled the sutras, in which task he was aided by his flawless memory. His pose, as seen here, is usually interpreted as listening to the Buddha's discourse or mentally rehearsing what he has heard.

The statue is made of white marble. A thin layer of paint, with darker horizontal bands, is visible on the outer robe.
