NHRC Saranath Buddha Statue - India

A stone sculpture from the fifth century CE, The Buddha Preaching his first sermon, depicts the Buddha in the Dharmachakra Pravartana Mudra, often known as the "teaching position." The relief is 5' 3" tall and was discovered in an area to the south of the Dhamek Stupa in Sarnath, India. It is the most well-known of the Buddha images depicting this subject, a "type considered a hallmark of the Sarnath school of Buddhist art," and is described by Denise Leidy as "justifiably one of the most famous representations of the Buddha in Asian art.
