The image depicts a Buddha statue titled "Udyana, Image of Buddha". The statue is carved from wood and features a brown patina with lighter brown accents. The figure has a rounded bun on top of their head, with the hair styled upwards. The face has a serene expression with a slight smile, small nose, and closed eyes. The figure wears a long robe with folds carved into the wood. The robe has a round neckline and long sleeves. The hands are positioned at the sides, with the right hand possibly in a gesture. The base of the statue is not visible, with only three small feet shown. The background is a plain grey color with a shadow cast to the right.
