Like a man from the population of North India in 500 BCE. There were no images of the Buddha made during his lifetime, as he asked that he not be immortalized in that way. The descriptions of the Buddha in the texts of the day are all stock lists of qualities anyone in his day was supposed to have if they were to be Enlightened Ones and so are completely unreliable. We do not know any details of what the Buddha looked like.
