This is the image of the standing Buddha in monastic garments, holding a bowl for alms. The garment is wrapped around his body in neat folds, with one end hanging on his left shoulder, and the right breast and shoulder free. The protuberance above the top of the head (usnisa) is not very prominent here; the curls of his hair are depicted as carved circles on the head. The earlobes are long, almost touching the shoulder; the arched eyebrows are long, joining in the center; the eyes are shut and the benign smile mostly seen in Buddha images is missing here. One of his hands is raised in dharma chakra mudra, with the thumb and the index finger joining together. The other hand holds the bowl with the handle. In his feet, he wears monastic sandals.
The circular pedestal is simple with the serene image of Buddha. The folds of his garments fall very well and the hard metal captures it well. The carving on the border is extremely well carved.
