The sculpture depicts a standing figure with four arms, titled "Standing Brahma" and created by an unknown artist. The figure has a rounded face with a straight mouth and nose. The figure has long hair that falls to the shoulders. The figure is wearing a necklace and a dhoti, which is a traditional garment in South Asia. The figure has two arms on either side of the body, with the front right hand holding an object and the front left hand resting by the side. The figure's two back arms are bent at the elbow, with one arm on the right appearing to hold an object and the other on the left resting against the back. The figure stands on a rectangular base. The background of the sculpture features intricate carvings. The entire sculpture is made of stone and appears to be weathered. The sculpture is displayed on a white pedestal against a beige wall.
