This statue depicts the classic image of Yellow Jambhala. He wears a five-leaf crown, with uniquely designed crown leaves in a cruciform shape. He has a short, protruding belly and powerful arms. His right hand holds the Chintamani wish-fulfilling jewel, his left hand grasps a jewel-spitting mongoose, and his right foot extends down from the lotus throne, stepping on a conch shell. His body is adorned with a full set of jewelry. His left leg is bent in a meditative posture, while his right leg extends downwards, stepping on a conch treasure, seated in a relaxed posture on a lotus moon disc. The modeling of this wealth deity is not particularly exaggerated; both the wrathful expression and the protruding belly are relatively restrained. The overall design is compact, the physique is well-proportioned, and the scale is appropriate. The dynamic pose of a tilted head and twisted waist, and the celestial garment streamers arching behind his head, add a touch of vivid naturalness.
