The figure is carved in a meditative pose, with legs crossed and hands resting gently in a symbolic gesture, one hand raised near the chest and the other resting on the knee. The deity's flowing robes cascade in intricate folds, their carved details revealing the skill of the artisan, with traces of faded paint in muted greens, blues, and reds hinting at the statue's once-vibrant coloring. Adorned with a high, elaborate headdress featuring a small, coiled ornament at the top, the figure also wears a necklace of carved beads and bracelets, adding to its regal appearance. The weathered surface, marked by a patina of age and wear, speaks to centuries of devotion, likely placing this statue within a historical context such as the Tang or Song Dynasty, where such sculptures were central to spiritual practices in East Asian temples.
