The statue stands 3.9 meters tall, has a waist circumference of 2 meters, and hands 40 centimeters long. It faces south with its back to the north and is mounted on a 50-centimeter-high carved stone lotus pedestal. The lines of the stone carving are distinct, with a shawl draped over the chest and a slender waist cinched with a belt. The carving features sharp, defined edges and refined knife work, which is quite rare among individual stone statues and is considered a precious example of ancient Chinese stone sculpture.
It is now a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
