Full-figure Buddha seated on a lotus throne in meditation posture (dhyanasana). The halo surrounding his head, as well as his legs were broken. In addition to the halo around the head, he is also surrounded by a full-body glory, which is broken on the right side. He wears his usual attire, a monk's robe (samghati). Traces of red paint can be seen on the halo.
