The image shows a seated four-armed statue. The statue depicts a figure with four arms sitting cross-legged on a base. The figure wears a crown and a necklace. The figure sits in front of an oval-shaped object. Two of the arms rest on the knees, the left arm holds an object and the right arm rests on a surface on the knee. The statue appears to be made of stone or metal and has a weathered appearance. The background is dark at the top and lightens towards the bottom.
