Brahma sits in a lotus flower, meditating in the lotus position with his eyes closed. He is portrayed with a crowned head and a long beard, his four faces looking in the four cardinal directions. He is holding a water jug, a book and a rosary. His mount is a swan or a goose, visible on the statue’s pedestal in the garden of Hopp Villa.
