He wears a short garment around his waist with a decorative pattern of horizontal lines and folds that resemble a dhoti. Two of his arms are bent at the elbows, and the right arm is raised upwards. The left arm is extended to the side. The sculpture is made of stone and has a light gray color. The torso is bare, and the head is missing. The sculpture is displayed on a white pedestal in a museum setting with other sculptures visible in the background.
