The image shows a small, dark-colored statue of Jizō Bosatsu, a Buddhist deity. The statue is made of stone or metal and stands on a short pedestal. The figure has a simple, rounded head with a small face and is wearing a long robe that falls to its feet. The hands are at the sides. A small plaque at the bottom reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 1926". The background is a plain white surface.
