The figure is shown standing on a flat, waisted base. The details of the
tapering head are well carved, as are the hair markings on the top of the
head, lower neck, tip of the tail and the two humps, which lean in opposite
directions. The luminous stone of warm white color deepens to be a pale
yellowish-brown color on one side, which imbues the whitish stone with
its warm tone.
