Panthaka is one of The Sixteen Arhats. He is a renowned scholar of the
Dharma and is often depicted with his left hand in the teaching mudra
and the right hand carrying a book.

Compare the Imperial thangka in the Qing Court Collection depicting
Panthaka (fig. 1), illustrated in Tangka - Buddhist Painting of Tibet, The
Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong,
2003, p. 198, which also depicts the arhat holding a book in his right
hand while the left in teaching mudra. However, the painted example
depicts him seated in full lotus position, while the current figure is in
royal ease with his left leg raised.
