Superbly cast, seated in lalitasana on a double lotus pedestal with a finely beaded edges, her right foot resting on a lotus blossom, her right hand lowered in varada mudra and her left holding a lotus coming to full bloom at her shoulders, wearing a dhoti fastened at the waist by a beaded girdle. Her elaborate crown, necklaces, arm, and ankle bands are finely inlaid with precious stones. The base sealed and incised with a double-vajra.

The goddess is richly adorned in fine jewelry inlaid with turquoise including a foliate crown framing the forehead, securing her high chignon with its lotus blossom finial, the elaborate necklaces falling elegantly down the contours of her bare chest. Her cold-painted serene face with downcast eyes, full lips forming a calm smile, and slender brows, all centered by an urna.
