Buddha standing on a lotus flower on a rectangular, replaced pedestal. It bears the hallmarks of the Mandalay style: its monk's robe is set with coloured glass, its usnísa is rounded and its earlobes reach to the shoulders. We can see a large, coloured glass bead in the middle of his double headband as a reminiscence of a gemstone. His left hand is missing.
