He has large circular earrings attached to his long ears either side of his tilted head on which he wears a lobed helmet-like hat. He is adorned further with a necklace and armband ( bazubands), together with a long encircling garland. Ends of a pleated scarf are shown flying out on either side, denoting a certain movement in the figure.
