立姿菩萨像，可能是弥勒，原应结施无畏印（abhaya）并持水瓶。上衣（uttarīya）为窄式穿法，前方衣环下缘以极高浮雕表现；左上臂的衣袍被下拉得很低，底部有一道厚边或边缘，似乎并未穿过肩环。水瓶原本附着处有常见的断裂痕迹。两件衣物的衣褶均以极高浮雕表现，主要为圆润的脊线。椭圆形头部衬托于大型头光之前，头光边缘饰有中央开槽的尖头莲瓣及波浪纹；头光内部素地上，两侧各有一位男性礼拜者，身着上衣、梳发髻，双手合十。面部前额低平，有眉间白毫（ūrṇā），眉脊近乎平直且极为锐利，双眼长而略斜、狭窄。长髭须之下，上唇剃净，丰满的下巴向前突出。头饰包括冠冕下方一排较短的卷发，以及背后披于肩上的较长卷发；大型发髻底部以一串珠链收束，背后饰有一弯新月，数串珠链交汇于顶部的一枚圆盘上。下方的冠冕亦由珠串组成，每侧通过两串（从花卉纹饰放射而出）及另一串（位于更后方）的珠链与环绕发髻的带饰相连；两朵花之间的冠冕部分有两串珠链。耳环受损，带有粗厚的圆环。

颈部修长，躯干胸部突出，腹部非常圆润。右上臂有一断裂的撑杆，原用于支撑施无畏印之臂。项饰纹饰模糊；多链项链的圆柱形两端饰件带有受损的角状怪兽头，其间相对着一颗大型多面桶形穿孔珠。一条多股珠串项链绕过右臂；绞索状护身符绳上挂有一只磨损的圆柱形盒及两三个模糊不清的护身符。

底座上有一块受损的嵌板，两侧为科林斯式壁柱，上方为饰有圆凸线的檐口；嵌板内有一佛钵置于佛龛下的台架上，钵两侧各有一位僧侣礼拜者。腿部之间的背板呈凸弧形。

Standing Bodhisattva, probably Maitreya and originally in abhaya and holding a water pot. The uttarīya is in the narrow mode, the lower edge of the loop in front in very high relief, and on the upper left arm the drapery is drawn down low with a thick band or edge at the bottom which appears not to pass under the shoulder loop. There is the usual break where the water pot was attached. The folds of both garments are in very high relief with mainly rounded ridges. The oval head is against a large halo bordered by centrally grooved and pointed lotus petals and an undulating line; within, on a plain field, are two flanking male worshippers in uttarīya and chignon, hands joined. The face has a low flat forehead with an ūrṇā and almost straight very sharp edges for eyebrows over long, slightly oblique, narrow eyes. The long moustache leaves the upper lip shaven and the full chin projects. The headdress consists of a fringe of shorter curls below the diadem and longer curled hair behind and falling onto the shoulders; a large chignon is drawn in at its base by a string of beads and fronted by a crescent on its back, and several strings of beads meet at a disc on the top. The diadem below, also of beads, is joined on each side to the band round the chignon by two strings of beads radiating from a floral ornament and by another string farther back; between the flowers the diadem has two strings. The damaged earrings are with a thick rounded hoop.

The neck is long and the torso has prominent breasts and a very rounded abdomen. A broken strut on the upper right arm formerly supported the abhaya arm. The collar has an indistinct pattern and the multiple-chain necklace cylindrical terminals with damaged horned monster heads confronting a large, faceted, barrel-shaped, threaded bead in between. A bead necklace of multiple strands loops over the right arm and the twisted amulet cord has one worn cylindrical box and two or three indistinct amulets.

On the base a damaged panel flanked by Corinthian pilasters under a cornice with enriched torus contains two monk worshippers, one either side of the Buddha's bowl on a stand beneath a canopy. The backplate is convex between the legs.
