Description :
The young musician is wearing a smooth cap. The modelling is eroded, so the contours and features of the figure are no longer clear. The face is childlike and round, with bulging eyes. With his shirt off, he is blowing into a conch shell that he is holding in both hands. The top of the antaravāsaka can be seen under his round belly.
