Buddha images in Central Java are of mixed influences between post-Kupta art and Pala art of India. The images are rather corpulent and have hair between the eyebrows according to Pala style. The robes without the edge only cover half of the bodies similar to the post-Kupta art. They sit in crossed-legs posture and on lotus base similar to Pala art.
