The deity is finely modelled with a rounded face, the hair upswept into a double topknot, fastened with an diadem suspending beaded jewels, above eyes downcast in gentle contemplation, the right arm supporting a ruyi, left hand in vitarka mudra, the gesture of bestowment, wearing a flowing garment exposing jewellery chains adorning the bare chest, seated on a recumbent harnessed elephant, box.
