Ajita seated with crossed legs under voluminous robes on an incised double cushion throne, his hands in dhyanamudra, the gesture of meditation, his face full with austere expression, small bow-shaped mouth, similar eyes and brows, wearing finely cast openwork arabesque dangling earrings, his head adorned with delicate layers of leaves with a long stem extending down his back.
