The figure is a sculpture of a standing Bodhisattva. The sculpture is made of wood and appears weathered with a brown color. The figure has a crown on its head with the hair styled in long strands on either side of the face. The eyes are closed. The figure wears a necklace and bracelets. The figure's right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on the hip. The left arm hangs down by the side with the hand open and palm facing outwards. The figure wears a long robe with folds carved into it. The robe covers the right shoulder and has a sash tied around the waist. The figure stands on a circular base. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
