The New-born Buddha
400s
China, Northern Wei dynasty (386-534)

Gilt bronze with inlays of blue glass and turquoise

This image of the newborn Buddha is rare and unusual. The common type represents him taking seven steps while proclaiming “I am supreme in the Universe.” Here, he is represented as being bathed by the nine Nagas, with both hands down.
