The figure has tightly curled hair covering an usnisa, a protuberance on top of his head. Long ear lobes, an urna between the downcast eyes and a serene smile. He is seated in a lotus posture, padmasana, the meditation position, with legs folded at knees, feet crossed and soles upward. His left hand is in the dhyana mudra, 'gesture of meditation', while his right hand is in the bhumisparsha mudra, 'the gesture of touching the earth'. He is dressed in a robe covering both shoulders with engraved lotus scroll bands at the hem. A swastika design, the symbol of Buddha's heart, is engraved on his bare chest and the dharmachakra design (Wheel of the Law), a symbol of the dharma, teaching of the Buddha, is engraved on his left palm and both soles. This hollow cast bronze figure is covered in gold using a gilding process.
