Shambhala King: peaceful in appearance, reddish in colour, he wears all the royal attire of a king. In the right hand is a gold eight-spoked wheel held to the heart. In the left he holds the stem of a lotus flower supporting a large blue gem emanating rays of light. With the right leg pendant and the left drawn in he wears green boots, seated atop a moon disc, pink lotus seat and a modest throne. This king is not accompanied by a companion figure.
