A dark mottled stone sculpture depicts a seated Buddha flanked by two standing attendants half his size against a pointed mandorla. They have heads topped by buns and wear robes draped in U-shaped folds, sharing faint smiles. He sits centrally with a petaled halo, right hand raised and left lowered. At the base, two crouching lions face outward. The weathered, coarse-textured surface shows significant pitting throughout.
