This sculpture presents an image of gentle and amiable Avalokitesvara who has an updo hairstyle, a flat forehead, an upright body, and slightly-closed eyes, with a mini statue of Amitabha on head. He wears a silk dress with wave-like gentle hems. His right hand is in the mudra of teaching, and the left one places on his shank, with his right arm wrapped by a shawl. His left leg is crossed and his right one is vertical to the ground, which is known as the semi-lotus posture. The entire sculpture is in a state of ultimate calmness and peacefulness, telling the Buddhist nature of Avalokitesvara, namely great mercy for all living creatures.
