1958年、公道建設の際に発掘された。如来像は胸元をゆったりと開いた衣を着け、胸元には下着の端をのぞかせ、これを留める紐の結び目を表している。右手を挙げて掌を前に向け(指先はすべて欠失)、左手を下げて左膝上に伏せて５指を伸ばす形をとり、円柱形の敷茄子と複式蓮弁の反花、框をもった蓮華座上に、両足を衣で包み、右足を前に結跏趺坐している。作風から８世紀初頭頃の制作と推定される。

This image was excavated during public road construction in 1958. The Buddha wears a robe draped across both shoulders and spread open at the base of the chest. The ends of the undergarment can be seen at the base of the chest and the knotted cords of this undergarment are depicted. The right hand is raised with palm facing forward (all fingers lost). The left arm is lowered, with hand palm-down on the left knee and all fingers extended. The figure sits in padmasana pose with right foot forward on top of a lotus pedestal made up of a cylindrical pedestal pillar and multi-petaled lower lotus layer with bottom frame. Judging from the style of the work, it can be surmised that this image was created in the beginning of the 8th century.
