The guardian figure intricately cast standing with legs slightly apart, his right hand lowered in sikharamudra and his left arm raised supporting a stupa, dressed in impressive chain-mail armour with the shoulders adorned with fierce monster-mask epaulets, the belly belted with a wide waist band similarly decorated with a powerfully modelled animal mask, wearing a celestial scarf billowing in the wind and trailing down to his tall boots decorated with ruyi-shaped motifs, his face characterised by pronounced cheek bones and bulging eyes below furrowed eyebrows, gazing sternly at a distance, the neatly combed hair surmounted by an elaborate headdress in openwork.
