He is standing in a hieratic position, his face serene, his eyes halfopen, dressed in a decorated skirt in a style reminiscent of the Dong Du'o'ng style, a period marked by Buddhist art.He could hold in her right hand either a lotus bud or the mani or ratna, the jewel sometimes, though very rarely, associated with Avalokiteshvara.
