The image depicts a bronze or metal statue of a figure known as the Standing Buddha. The statue is dark gray with a slightly lighter patina on the raised parts. The figure has a distinctive hairstyle consisting of small curls gathered into a bun on top of the head. The figure's facial features include long earlobes, a nose, and closed eyes. The figure wears a long robe that falls to the ankles, with the right shoulder exposed. The right hand is raised in front of the chest with the palm facing outwards, while the left hand is held lower with the palm facing downwards. The figure stands on a rectangular base with a decorative border featuring oval shapes. The base has an inscription on the front. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray, with a shadow cast by the statue to the left.
