The sculpture depicts a Luohan sitting on a base with his left leg tucked under his right, with the left foot visible at the back. He wears a robe with a rounded collar and a looped clasp on the right shoulder. The left arm rests on the left leg, while the right hand is held up to the chest. The figure has a shaved head, prominent ears, a mustache, and a scowling expression. The sculpture exhibits a weathered appearance with patches of green patina. The background of the image is gray. The title of the piece is "Luohan with an armrest" by an unknown artist.
