A greenish-gray schist sculpture depicts a four-armed male and a female figure seated on a lotus petal base. The male sits with one leg hanging and the other bent, wearing a tiered crown. Beside him, the female sits with one leg tucked. Below them, a small bull and attendants are carved. Both figures are adorned with elaborate jewelry and circular earrings. The upper left corner of the sculpture is fragmented.
