A gilded seated Buddha statue sits in a carved niche of a stone temple wall. The figure has a blue-black curled hair bun, half-closed eyes and hands pressed together in front of the chest in a gesture of teaching or meditation. The lotus-petalled pedestal is decorated with relief carvings of figures and a central rosette, and carved stone pilasters and foliage frame the niche. No living people are visible.
