His right hand is raised with the palm facing outwards and fingers extended. His left palm faces upwards on his lap. The figure wears a simple robe that covers one shoulder. The head has a rounded, bulbous hairstyle. The face has a calm expression with a subtle smile. The surface shows a weathered, aged appearance with gold tones. The background features a gradient transitioning from dark to light gray.
