Seated Indra
The image shows a dark-colored sculpture of a seated male figure titled "Seated Indra" by an unknown artist. The figure sits in a cross-legged position with the right leg resting on top of the left, and the right arm resting on the right knee. The left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand near the left knee. The figure wears a headpiece that covers the top of the head and has two circular decorations on either side. A necklace-like adornment encircles the neck. The figure also wears a decorative garment or sash draped over the left shoulder, with a portion hanging down the back. The base of the sculpture is oval-shaped and flat. A light-colored background with a gradient transitioning from dark to light is behind the sculpture.
