Figure of a prince of the Konbaug Dynasty, shown in Buddha-like posture and gesture.

The left hand (usually the right) held in the bhumisparsha mudra and the right hand once held an object, which is untypically for Buddha, also untypically rendered robe bearing thayo lacquer relief, hair combed back, elongated earlobes, the base with a thayo lacquer relief, all around and with colorful glass inlays, traces of partial gilding, wear due to age.
