A large, weathered gray stone statue depicting a male ascetic figure is captured from a low, upward-facing angle against an overcast sky. The statue features a stylized face with a hooded head, prominent brow, wide eyes gazing towards the upper right, a broad nose, a mustache, and a short goatee. Its upper torso is bare, revealing distinctly carved ribs, indicating a lean physique. A flowing robe drapes around the figure's shoulders and across its lower body. The figure's right hand holds a thick, gnarled staff-like object vertically over its right shoulder. The statue is depicted in a seated posture, with its knees visible beneath the draped robe. The material appears to be gray granite or marble, exhibiting natural striations and surface weathering. The background is a uniformly light gray, cloudy sky. This statue is located at Linh Son Co Tu Pagoda in Vũng Tàu, Vietnam.
