A lotus rises beside his shoulder and supports a sword with a detailed blade and ornamental handle.

The elaborate crown frames his head, while the earrings, necklaces, arm ornaments, and garment patterns add further detail to the figure. The lotus stem, sword, seated posture, ornamental crown, and carved pedestal form the principal visible elements of this Manjushri sculpture.
