The hands are placed on the thighs. Flat, cap-like headdress with elaborate ear ornaments carved only in front. Large pectoral, wristlets resembling three rows of fringe, anklets, thonged sandels. Right knee cap restored, lower neck restored, left hand restored, right hand cracked. The base is chipped near the left foot, and a piece is missing at the left corner below figure's shoulder. Authenticity in doubt: 1975.
