A golden statue of a seated monk or ascetic is shown against a plain white background. The figure is bald, with elongated earlobes and large circular earrings, and has a solemn, contemplative facial expression. He sits cross-legged in a meditative posture, with both hands resting in his lap. A draped robe or cloak falls over his shoulders and arms, revealing a ribbed, slender torso with a vertical row of decorative elements down the chest. The sculpture has a highly reflective metallic-gold finish with visible textured detailing, and the figure rests on a low rectangular base.
