What does an empty seat represent in early Buddhist iconography?
Correct Answer: A — The meditation of the Buddha
Explanation:
Early Buddhist iconography often uses symbolic, aniconic forms instead of direct human images of the Buddha.
In that symbolic scheme, the empty seat or empty throne represents the Buddha's meditative presence. Therefore the accepted answer is the Buddha's meditation.
