Made awkward by his weight?

His eyes lingered on Lyanna’s face, as if he could will her back to life. Finally he rose, made awkward by his weight.


Hi, dear teachers. For the sentence above, what grammatical structure is the underlined part? Can I understand it as a relative clause(who was made awkward by his weight)?


Thank you.
