The museum's Asian collections focus primarily on the religious arts of South Asia. They represent living religious traditions that originated in India thousands of years ago and spread throughout Asia and around the globe-Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
Indian Buddhism is represented by a majestic late 2nd-century sandstone Buddha from Mathura, one of the most important such works in an American museum, and a remarkable black stone Pala Buddha from the 10th century. A 14th-century gilded bronze statue from Tibet represents Buddha Shakyamuni, the "Great One of the Sakya clan," seated on a throne of lotus petals at the moment of his awakening.
