The statue depicts Buddha sitting cross-legged on a pedestal. The figure has a rounded face with a small mouth and nose, and a serene expression. Eyes are closed. The hair is styled in a bun on top of the head. The figure wears robes that are draped over the shoulders and around the body, with folds and creases carved into the stone. The right hand is raised, and the left hand rests on the lap. The statue is made of a light-colored stone, possibly marble or limestone, with a smooth texture and some visible imperfections. The background is a gradient of gray, with the statue casting a shadow to the right.
