Standing Buddha on small surface, with long robe covering the curvaceous body. The right hand pointing to the ground, varada mudra or gesture of dispensing of boons.
The other hand is placed on his left shoulder holding a script roll. Necklaces adorn the chest, we see three necklines in the front. The face is very broad with fleshy but small lips.
The eyes are open, a raised urna sits between the arched eyebrows. We see strands of wavy hair peeking out underneath a crown with ornamental pointy edges encircling his high chignon.
The earlobes are slightly elongated. From the back we see the hairlines.
