Standing Arhat, 6th C CE, China

Description

From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arhat): "Theravada Buddhism defines arhat (Sanskrit) or arahant (Pali) as "one who is worthy" or as a "perfected person" having attained nirvana. Other Buddhist traditions have used the term for people far advanced along the path of Enlightenment, but who may not have reached full Buddhahood."
