The Awakened One seated on a lotus throne gesturing the bhumispharsa mudra. A fine robe with decorative brim is draped over his shoulders and folding wavily over his legs. The facial expression is austere with downcast eyes, the raised urna on the forehead. The earlobes are elongated. Tiny curls cover the ushnisha topped by a diamond finial.
