Surya, the Sun God, with Attendants
The image depicts Surya, the Sun God, with Attendants. The sculpture is dark-colored, likely black or dark brown. The main figure, Surya, stands in the center, wearing a crown and a short dhoti. He has four arms. His right hand holds a lotus flower and his left hand holds another lotus flower. The other two hands hold objects that are not clearly visible. Surya's facial expression appears calm. Behind Surya, there is a large circular object with a pointed top. There are two smaller figures on either side of Surya, both holding circular objects. The base of the sculpture is rectangular with a decorative design. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The overall style of the sculpture suggests it is from Southeast Asia. The sculpture depicts Surya by Indian artist.
