This is a statue of a standing Bodhisattva wearing a crown with three tall ornamental accessories. The body and the pedestal were cast together. The bottom of the pedestal has a long rod attached that was apparently designed to allow it to be combined with another pedestal. The rear side displays only a flat surface, with pegs affixed to the shoulders and the back knee that were apparently used to attach an aureole to the body.
