Buddha can be seen with a youthful expression wearing traditional Burmese attire with inlaid coloured glass decoration.

Buddha is depicted here in the traditional Mandalay buddha form standing in samabhanga posture with his left hand holding his robe and his right hand forming the vitarka mudra whilst holding the fruit of the myrobalan, a bitter medicinal fruit. The myrobalan fruit is often seen held by Mandalay Buddhas.
