Seated on a double-layered lotus pedestal, the Shakyamuni Buddha is adorned with an ornately embroidered upper garment which covers both of his shoulders. These dense arabesque, vegetative motifs extend all around the statue, including the back. On the reverse side, below Shakyamuni's seat is carved Tibet's most holy mantra, namely Om Mani Padme Hum. This can be seen in the accompanying image.
