Description
-
A fierce-looking deity statue with a grimace expression and large protruding tusk-like teeth. He stands in a fighting posture with his right arm raised, probably holding a spear or sword not visible in photo. His left hand holds a snake and his right foot rests upon a small animal, probably a species of large cat. He wears armour and a crown-like headdress. There is an incense burner in front of him.
