Figure seated in the “posture of Royal ease“ (Maharajali-lasana) in a wood stand carved to represent a cave-like niche. Striated hair pulled into a high chignon or mukuta behind the crown with strands looping down in front to the ears in which are earrings of floral design. Full, severe, contemplative face. Three plastic neck wrinkles. Scrolls-lotus-and-drop necklace in high relief on taut, bare chest. Dhoti or skirt looped over waistband in single “apron” below which the under which falls to the ankles in folds over the knees. A scarf is knotted at the left shoulder and looped to the right hip front and back. Headdress streamers descend over shoulders - on right, stiffly, on left, more naturally. Left hand supports figure on rocky seat of wood. Right arm rests on raised right knee. Left leg pendant, bare foot resting on lotus. Back shows dhoti and scarves but is plainer than front of image. Interior at least partially hollow. Figure now with dark patina with occasional reddish and gold highlights where rubbed; traces of gold on the figure. Stand of once-lacquered wood represent cave-like niche on rock base.

造像呈“自在坐”（Maharajali-lasana），置于一雕作洞窟状佛龛的木座之上。发丝呈条纹状，挽成高髻或宝冠（mukuta）于冠后，数缕发辫垂至耳前，耳戴花卉纹耳环。面容饱满、肃穆、呈冥想状。颈间有三道肉褶。裸露的紧实胸膛上高浮雕饰有卷草、莲花及垂珠纹的项链。下身系裙（dhoti），围系于腰带之上，形成一“ apron”状垂布，其下衣褶垂至脚踝，覆于膝上。一条帔帛系于左肩，环绕至右胯，前后垂落。天衣飘带自宝冠后垂至肩头——右侧僵直，左侧更为自然。左手支撑于木座岩石之上，右臂搭于高耸的右膝。左腿自然下垂，赤足踏于莲台之上。背面可见裙与帔帛的纹饰，但较正面朴素。造像内部至少部分中空。现造像表面呈深色包浆，磨损处偶见红金色光泽；身上残留有金彩。木座原髹漆，雕作岩石底座上的洞窟状佛龛。
