Seated Male Deity Holding a Manuscript(?)
The bronze sculpture depicts a male deity seated in a cross-legged position on a lotus base. The deity has a serene expression, with eyes cast downward and a subtle, enigmatic smile. He wears a tall, pointed crown adorned with small decorative elements and has earrings hanging from his ears. A necklace and bracelets are visible on his body. The deity holds an object in his right hand, possibly a manuscript, and his left hand rests on his lap. The sculpture exhibits a weathered, aged appearance with a greenish patina. The background is a warm-toned wall with shadows cast upon it. The sculpture sits on a light-colored surface. The title of the piece is "Seated Male Deity Holding a Manuscript(?)" by an unidentified artist.
