The figure's ears are long and adorned with earrings. It wears a robe with folds and creases. The figure sits cross-legged on a lotus flower-shaped base with hands positioned in front of the chest. The background of the image features a gradient transitioning from dark brown to light brown. The statue appears to be made of dark gray or black material, possibly stone or metal.
