  • His robe is draped with a long flap from the left shoulder ending in a straight line

  • The U thong hairstyle is in small, somewhat-spiky curls
  • Seated on a unique royal barge shaped base designed with intricate patterns
  • He is in the "earth witness" hand gesture which depicts the Buddha sitting in meditation with his left hand palm upright in his lap, and his right hand touching the earth
  • Mara, the Tempter, asks who will stand as witness to his right to gain Enlightenment. Buddha reaches down and touches the Earth as he says, “The Earth is my witness.”
