Presented as Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (main arms in Anjali Mudra, secondary arms holding ritual implements, with a solemn and compassionate posture), wearing a treasure crown and ornaments, seated cross-legged on a double-layer lotus pedestal (plump and neat lotus petals, a typical pedestal style of Qianlong imperial statues);
