A dark gray and green bronze sculpture depicts a deity seated cross-legged on a tiered rectangular pedestal. He wears a multitiered, cone-shaped crown and a circular halo. His right hand is raised with the palm out, while his left rests on his leg. He has wide eyes, a mustache, and large earrings. A sacred cord crosses his chest from his left shoulder.
