Ancient Indian Buddha Sculpture

A sculpture of Buddha made in India in the 700s. It depicts his fasting and the stages of enlightenment and understanding that followed. I love the veiny pattern carved oh-so intricately on the skin of Buddha in the artwork. Compositionally I find the sculpture intriguing due the multitude of Buddha's swarming around the larger, center Buddha as well as the section of the sculpture underneath the Buddha's (the cows).
