His shaven head is nicely rendered. His right arm is bare from the elbow down, otherwise the figure is covered by garments with zig-zag leaf decorated borders. The monk is seated on a mat above a rectangular plinth with recessed central section. The plinth also has incised decoration of zig-zag lines and small circles on three sides. The back is undecorated.
