He is adorned with earrings and a necklace. His right leg is crossed over his left leg, which is bent and rests on a lotus flower. His right hand is positioned in front of his chest, and his left hand holds a bell. He sits on a decorated base with geometric patterns and two small animal-like figures, one on each side. The background is gray.
