Emaciated Buddha sits on the ground. His left leg is bent at the knee, the sole of his left foot flatly planted on the ground. His right leg is tucked in close to his torso beneath his raised knee. He leans forward, resting his head on hands folded over the raised knee. He wears a wrapped garment drapped over his left shoulder. He has large ears with elongated pierced lobes, a tonsured head and a beard falling into a line of curls. There is a third eye on the top of his head. His eyes are shut.
