Buddhist god Lokeshvara seated on a double reverse lotus throne with one leg pendant, one knee bent.

The god has four arms, one showing the varada mudra, one holding a rosary, one holding an elephant goad and one the stem of a flower.

A slim shawl is wrapped around shoulders and arms, a beaded necklace decorates the chest and the ears are adorned with floral pendants.

The eyes are downcast, the lips in a faint smile, the hair is done up in a chignon decorated with a tiara showing a Buddha Amithaba effigy.
