Kubera is often depicted as a dwarf, with complexion of lotus leaves and a big belly.
He is described as having three legs, only eight teeth, one eye, and being adorned with jewels.
He is sometimes depicted riding a man.
The description of deformities like the broken teeth, three legs, three heads and four arms appear only in the later Puranic texts.
Kubera holds a mace, a pomegranate or a money bag in his hand.
He may also carry a sheaf of jewels or a mongoose with him.
In Tibet, the mongoose is considered a symbol of Kubera's victory over Nāgas—the guardians of treasures.
Kubera is usually depicted with a mongoose in Buddhist iconography.

In the Vishnudharmottara Purana, Kubera is described as the embodiment of both Artha ("wealth, prosperity, glory") and Arthashastras, the treatises related to it—and his iconography mirrors it.
Kubera's complexion is described as that of lotus leaves.
He rides a man—the state personified, adorned in golden clothes and ornaments, symbolizing his wealth.
His left eye is yellow.
He wears an armour and a necklace down to his large belly.
The Vishnudharmottara Purana further describes his face to be inclined to the left, sporting a beard and mustache, and with two small tusks protruding from the ends of his mouth, representing his powers to punish and to bestow favours.
His wife Riddhi, representing the journey of life, is seated on his left lap, with her left hand on the back of Kubera and the right holding a ratna-patra (jewel-pot).
Kubera should be four-armed, holding a gada (mace: symbol of  dandaniti—administration of justice) and a shakti (power) in his left pair, and standards bearing a lion—representing Artha and a shibika (a club, the weapon of Kubera).
The nidhi treasures Padma and Shankha stand beside him in human form, with their heads emerging from a lotus and a conch respectively.

The Agni Purana states that Kubera should be installed in temples as seated on a goat, and with a club in his hand.
Kubera's image is prescribed to be that of gold, with multi-coloured attributes.
In some sources, especially in Jain depictions, Kubera is depicted as a drunkard, signified by the "nectar vessel" in his hand.
