A dark gray, bronze sculpture depicts a deity seated cross-legged on a tiered base. He sits within an ornate, pointed frame topped with a stylized animal face. Wearing a conical headdress and jewelry, he raises his right palm forward while his left hand rests on his knee. Patches of green oxidation cover the metal surface. Decorative lattice and scrollwork patterns line the archway. The sculpture rests on a dark wooden block.
