Each face represents a different figure: one side depicts a Buddha with a traditional ushnisha, another side shows a Bodhisattva wearing a jeweled crown, and the third side features a third Bodhisattva figure. All three are seated in the lotus position (padmasana) with hands resting in their laps in the dhyana mudra (meditation gesture). The sculpture is topped with a large, ornate, flame-shaped finial with a prominent, red-painted central jewel. The bronze is extensively gilded, retaining a bright, warm gold luster with a rich, aged patina in the recesses. The underside of the base bears an engraved seal mark.
