Male Fertility Divinity, Possibly Shiva
Reddish-brown terracotta sculpture of a man with a large belly. The man's head is tilted slightly to his right; he has a thick, curly beard and mustache. He wears a short dhoti with a sash tied around his waist. A sash or shawl is draped over his right shoulder. His right hand holds a curved object near his stomach; his left hand grasps a cylindrical object near his side. The figure's neck and upper chest are missing. The background fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
