The central figure is distinguished by a tall, elaborate crown featuring a small Buddha image, while the two flanking figures wear ornate, openwork crowns. Each figure has a serene, downcast expression with a red dot on the forehead, a beaded necklace, and flowing robes accented with red and dark detailing. Their hands are positioned in various mudras (gestures), including the Anjali mudra (hands clasped together) and the Vitarka mudra (gesture of teaching). The set is a fine example of traditional Buddhist sculptural art, combining detailed casting with rich gilding.
