This is a standing male figure, cast in bronze, with a height of 80 cm and a width of 35 cm. The deity is depicted with four arms, symbolizing his divine power and ability to interact with the world. He is clad in a beautifully draped, pleated loincloth (sampot), and his body is adorned with necklaces and bracelets. His hands are held in various gestures, though the specific attributes they once held are not clearly visible due to age.
 

The figure's face has a serene and peaceful expression, with downcast eyes and a subtle smile, conveying a sense of inner calm and contemplation. He wears a tall, elaborate conical headdress that signifies his high status as a deity.
