A silver-copper alloy sculpture depicts Dharmakirti seated cross-legged on a circular lotus base. The dark gray figure features a gilded face, wide eyes, large ears, and a flat reddish-brown top. A robe drapes over his left shoulder, leaving the right bare. His right hand rests on his knee with pinched fingers, while his left hand is raised with the palm outward and the middle finger touching his thumb.
