Wearing the unadorned hairstyle of an ascetic and notably without jewelry she has four hands: the upper right holding a rosary, the upper left holding a sickle, the lower right making a boon-granting gesture. The lowered left holding a water pot with a handle. Her lion stands to her right. A doe rests beneath a buck at her left. A radiating mandorla radiates like flower peals behind. Her sari clings to her body. Her eyes are wide open with a slight smile. Damage to the face and left breast as well as the two upper hands.
