Agni, God of Fire

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture depicts Agni, God of Fire. The figure of Agni is central and dominant, standing with a large flame-like structure behind his head. He has four arms and wears a necklace and bracelets. His attire consists of a dhoti, and he stands barefoot. The sculpture is made of stone and shows signs of weathering. There are multiple smaller figures around Agni, positioned on shelves or platforms to his left and right. Some of these smaller figures appear to be holding objects. At the base of the sculpture, there are additional smaller figures. The overall appearance of the sculpture suggests it is an ancient piece. The background of the image is gray, and the sculpture appears to be on a wooden surface.
