The sculpture depicts Buddha sitting cross-legged on a pedestal. The statue is made of white marble or stone with a smooth texture. Buddha's legs are crossed, and his hands are placed in his lap. He wears a robe that drapes over his left shoulder and has folds carved into it. The pedestal has a square base with rounded edges, decorated with carved petals around its base and four short legs underneath. The base of the pedestal features carved writing, possibly in Chinese characters. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray towards the bottom.
