Standing Male Deity (possibly Shiva)
Dark gray stone statue of a male deity standing on a black base. The statue depicts a figure with long hair styled in braids or locks that fall down its back and shoulders. The figure has a serene expression with eyes that are slightly closed. It wears a necklace around its neck and bracelets on its upper arms. A cloth or dhoti is wrapped around its waist. The right hand is clenched into a fist, while the left hand holds an object, possibly a ball or a drum. The statue stands with its left hip slightly cocked. The background is a plain wall with lighting that casts a shadow to the right of the statue.
