This richly gilded figure depicts a young Buddhist disciple. His distinct characteristics, including the youthful face with a bald head, long earlobes and quiet countenance, positioned standing on a plain lotus pod, suggest that the figure may represent a youthful Ananda, the primary attendant of Shakyamuni Buddha. A similar example in Harvard Art Museum, bequest of Grenville L. Winthrop, (acc. no. 1943.53.66) is illustrated in Leopold Swergold, Thoughts on Chinese Buddhist Gilt Bronzes, 2014, pl. 14.
