The cast bronze shows a standing female deity framed by a tall flaming mandorla, rising from a double-lotus pedestal. Above her is a lion mask with bulging eyes and curling mane, symbolizing protective force. The deity holds attributes in her hands and wears a high crown and elaborate jewelry. Small attendant figures appear to the sides, integrated into the aureole.
The bronze has a dark brown surface with areas of malachite-green patination, consistent with long ritual use. The reverse is flat with casting aperture visible near the top.
Comparable votive bronzes with lion masks and protective deities are known from the Ming period, when Buddhist and Daoist pantheons overlapped strongly in ritual contexts.
