His legs are arranged in the Virasana, the half lotus position. His left hand is placed upon his foot with the open palm facing upwards, while his right hand is placed over the knee and forms the gesture of touching the earth. Which this hand position Buddha calls on the earth to bear witness to the truth of his words.



He is dressed in a simple monk's robe, which lies over his left shoulder and clings supple to the body. Buddha has meditative facial features, deep neck wrinkles and long, pointed earlobes. Distinctive curls and a crowning, wedge-shaped Ketumala clarify his majesty along with the characteristics.
