The Buddha is shown seated with both hands resting on his bent left knee supporting his chin. He wears loose robes draped over his thin frame. His face, with contemplative expression, is carved with prominent cheekbones and a pronounced ushnisha, and his curly beard, mustache and hair are crisply rendered with tight snail knots. The clay body is of a deep brown tone with flecks of caramel brown throughout. The back is inscribed Da Ming Zhengde Wu Bangzuo zao ("Made by Wu Bangzuo [during] the great Zhengde period").
