A grey stone statue of a seated deity murti sits on a plinth outdoors on dry grass. The figure has a tall tiered crown-like headdress, elaborate beaded necklaces, and bare torso, with one hand raised in abhaya-style blessing and the other resting on the lap in a meditative pose. Behind it stands an orange-walled building with a dark red door and a small tree, with a turquoise bucket and a red container nearby. The statue is unpainted stone, and its iconography is not clearly a named form, so it is described as a deity murti.
