Seated Kuvera

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray stone statue of Seated Kuvera, an Asian deity. The statue depicts a stout figure with a large head, small eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a crown, earrings, and a necklace. The figure has a large belly and short legs crossed in a seated position with one hand resting on knee and one on side. The statue sits on a round base with a pattern around the bottom edge. The figure's facial expression is serene, with a subtle smile. The statue appears to be made of stone or metal, with visible texture and wear on the surface. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
