Seated on a lotus base over a throne with blue horses, wearing a multicolored dhoti, orange sash and heavy jewelry and crown highlighted with gilt pastiglia, seated against a tiered backrest with two makaras on the sides and a Garuda above, one standing and three seated bodhisattvas on either side wearing silks and holding various objects, further surrounded by 132 golden Shakyamuni Buddhas arranged in rows, a running motif of alternating lions and horses below with an inscription at bottom

There are further figures that have been identified. Along the front of the throne between the blue horses are three of the four female Door Guardians. In the middle for the southern direction is Vajrapashi holding a lasso; at left representing west is Vajrasphota holding a flower garland; and at right representing east is Vajrakushi also holding a flower garland. At the bottom center is a wrathful male figure with one face and six hands, yellow in colour. At the bottom right side is the Direction Guardian of the south, blue Yama riding a brown buffalo. Seated alongside is the Guardian King of the South, Virudhaka, blue in color, holding a long sword with the right hand and the scabbard in the left, wearing a helmet and the garments of a warrior. At the bottom left is the Direction Guardian of the southwest, Rakshasa, blue.
