Miniature Buddhist Deity

Miniature Buddhist Deity by unknown artist. A small, intricately carved stone statue of a Buddhist deity. The deity has a rounded face with a subtle smile and almond-shaped eyes. The figure wears a crown-like hairstyle and has four arms. The two right arms are bent at the elbow with the hands raised to the face, and the two left arms are extended downward. The deity wears a short dhoti wrapped around the waist. A smaller figure stands to the right of the deity, and another to the left. The statue is set against an arched background with a pointed top. The base of the statue features a series of rounded rectangular blocks. The entire piece is rendered in a light-colored stone.
