A seated figure of the Bodhisattva Maitreya with his hands in the dhyana mudra in his lap holding a small pear-shaped flask (now largely sliced off). He is seated cross-legged with the soles of his feet pointing upwards on a squab cushion resting on a draped plinth. A segment of a flat aureole behind his right shoulder and head is all that survives of a plain circular halo. His wavy hair falls down across his shoulders and is bound with a thick band across the top of his head and round a topknot above, which flops over on the left side in a loop. He has a prominent round urna in the middle of his forehead and a small moustache on his upper lip. He is richly bejewelled with a cylindrical plug earring in his right ear (the left one is now missing). He wears a torque round his neck and a heavy chain slung across his neck and right shoulder with a similar chain or an extension of this one falling between his breasts. In addition there is a cord hung diagonally across his chest and left shoulder with amulets hanging from its lower edge. An armband with a trefoil ornament is seen on his upper right arm.
His upper torso is bare, with a line across his waist and through his prominent navel indicating an intake of breath, except for a stole or uttariya which is draped in folds over his left shoulder and across his right elbow, down across the front of his legs in a large loop and up over the left shoulder with one end emerging over his left elbow. His lower garment or paridhana is tucked round his legs with the end folds hanging over his right leg.
