Description from the seller
Old brass figurine of the Hindu god Indra, made in Nepal in the 20th century. The deity is depicted in a relaxed seated posture on a round lotus pedestal. Behind the head there is an elaborately crafted aureole, which underscores Indra's divine status.
The figure displays typical iconographic features of Nepalese art: a finely modeled face, a richly decorated headdress, jewelry elements, and an attribute in the raised hand. The proportions and details point to traditional handcrafted workmanship.
The surface has a beautiful, even patina. Age- and use-related wear and minor irregularities are present and underscore the object's authentic character. The figurine is hollow-cast, with an opening on the bottom.
