A dark gray schist rock sculpture depicts the Buddha standing with both palms facing out, flanked by two smaller acolytes. He has hair gathered in a bun, while the acolytes wear tiered headdresses and hold vertical staffs. All three stand atop a large, stylized monster head with bulging eyes and a wide snout. A circular hole is bored through the stone between the Buddha's legs, and the slab is bell-shaped.
