English: A fragmented Buddha statue was displayed at the yard of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum in Palembang, then moved to Taman Purbakala Kerajaan Sriwijaya. The statue was discovered in Seguntang Hill archaeological site in Palembang back in the 1920s. It was discovered in pieces; the head part was discovered first, several months later the body parts were discovered, the legs are still missing. The 277cm-tall statue is made from granite stone, commonly thought to be from the neighboring island of Bangka, although an unfinished seated Buddha statue in granite currently found in the Palembang Museum proves that such statues could have been made locally. The statue likely belongs to the Pala period, dating from the late 7th to the early 8th centuries CE. This style was copied during Srivijaya era of the same period.
