His upper right hand holds a crystal mala, while his upper left hand holds a lotus flower, representing the cultivation of compassion and the purity of enlightened activity. He wears an elaborate crown, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and flowing silk garments decorated with finely engraved patterns. His serene expression, graceful seated posture, lotus attributes, and carefully carved ornaments create a traditional Himalayan representation of Chenrezig.
