The Buddha is seated in , his right hand reaching toward the earth to witness his enlightenment and Mara's defeat. Like other examples from Pagan, he has heavy-lidded downcast eyes indicating his deep meditation, a subtle smile, elongated earlobes, and incised, arched eyebrows. His is shaped like a small flame, with a recessed area likely intended to hold a gemstone. Fine, diaphanous robes cling closely to his slender body, enhancing the figure's naturalism.
Due to Pagan's proximity to eastern India, there was significant artistic exchange with the Pala dynasty (8th–12th century), particularly the Bodh Gaya region, the site of the Buddha's enlightenment. Portable bronze Buddhas helped transmit Pala stylistic features to Southeast Asia. However, while the Pala kingdom followed Mahayana Buddhism, Pagan, under King Anawrahta (r. 1044–1077 CE), was firmly Theravada. He commissioned hundreds of large brick-and-stucco temples in his capital, many of which survive today, with interiors richly decorated with painted scenes from the Buddha's life and filled with sculpture.
As acts of merit-making, Buddha images were likely intended for private devotion and may also have been placed within temple walls to spiritually empower the structure, a practice attested by inscriptions found in Pagan. A comparable example is held in the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco (1989.45).
