Standing Buddha, originally in 'abhaya mudra'. The head is oval and the wavy hair is drawn back in locks of varying relief, which curve in crescents to each side forming a pointed oval above the peak, and continue into the uṣṇīṣa which is secured at its base by a thin twisted band. The modelled face is fleshy.
