His principal hands are joined before his heart in a gesture of devotion, while the surrounding hands hold various symbolic attributes associated with compassionate activity. Each arm is individually sculpted, creating an intricate and dynamic composition. He is adorned with an elaborate crown, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and flowing garments richly decorated with carved patterns.
