Standing on a lotus base over a rectangular plinth, his right hand raised in the fear-abiding gesture and holding the tip of his robe in his left, wearing a simple and tightly fitted lower and upper monastic garment and a cape decorated with tassels in a zigzag-line and adorned with a tripartite crown with rosettes, ribbons, matching earrings, the "sun in the crescent moon" emblems, and short beaded necklace, all characteristic for that region and time. The eyes and urna inlaid with silver, the face painted with cold gold. The unsealed plinth with an inscription.
