Description

The deity is richly adorned with a conical headdress, elaborate jewellery, and a waist cloth, with each of the four arms holding symbolic attributes—likely a conch and discus—while one hand is extended in the gesture of blessing (abhaya mudra). The sculpture displays a deep reddish-brown patina with traces of gold gilding.
