AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vishnu, a copper-colored bronze typical of South Indian bronzes. The deity holds two of his cosmic weapons in his upper hands and with the other two makes a fearless gesture and rests the other on his thigh in the most usual position. He has a beautiful patina from wear, the face somewhat worn, and wears the usual jewels and a double crown. Dressed with a flowing dhoti and a garland. The base is lotus-shaped with six petals.
