Both seated with their legs tucked under their bodies on a rectangular pedestal, their hands in anjalimudra, wearing uttarasangha and samghati, the latter with a small cloth section draped over their left shoulders, their faces displaying a serene expression with downcast eyes below arched eyebrows running into their nose-bridges, smiling lips and a curled hairdo, traces of gilding, black and red lacquer.
