The Chang Foundation Catalogue, Buddhist Images in Gilt Metal, illustrates a Buddha Sakyamuni fig. 12, with a similar robe and explains "the robe is a kasaya, a garment made of patches of cloth joined together. Monks cut off their hair and refrain from wearing their previous clothes in order to remove all earlier bad influences. In Chinese kasaya is translated as futian (happy fields), so supporting monks is considered to be equivalent to planting fields".
