Damo, also known as Bodhidharma, is largely credited with transmitting Mahayana Buddhism to China from its westerly neighbors. Accounts of his birthplace differ and include both Central and South Asian places as possibilities. The present figure makes his foreignness in the Chinese tradition apparent with his barbed remaining hair and facial hair. The separately carved shoes reference the legend of his crossing the Yangtze river while riding a reed barefoot, and the meditative posture alludes to his reputation as a chan master.
