I can't figure out how to post this slide show photo itself (copyright issues is my guess, whoops?), but there's something about the statue of Buddha's companion that is intriguing, intense, and perhaps a little creepy. His stature is overbearing, almost lazily cocky, like dude's prepped to skewer you: verbally, militarily, thoroughly. That face has loose cannon written all over it.
And all this read from a chunk of carved wood? Reminds me of reading about Michaelangelo's work with marble. At least I can get a photo of that.
