The Buddha is seated in vajrāsana on a double-lotus base, his right hand in bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture) and his left resting in dhyāna mudrā upon his lap. He wears an elaborate five-leafed crown with foliate details, large earrings, and beaded necklaces, armlets, and bracelets, echoing the traditional iconography of a crowned or royal Buddha (mukutadhārī Buddha). His expression is serene, with downcast eyes and a faint smile beneath finely arched brows.

The base is encircled by relief panels depicting donor figures and attendants, with traces of age and wear highlighting the contours. The underside is sealed with a copper plate incised with a central lotus motif.

This image reflects the 13th-century Tibetan tradition inspired by Pāla-period models of Eastern India, which were transmitted into Tibet and elaborated into a distinct style characterized by tall crowns, slender torsos, and rich ornamentation. While stylistically rooted in the 13th century, the casting and details suggest a later production, emulating these earlier models.
