Kumara with a Peacock
The image shows a statue of Kumara with a peacock by an unknown artist. The statue depicts a man sitting cross-legged on a base with his right leg resting on top of his left. The man's right arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on his knee; the left arm is bent at the elbow with the hand resting on the back of a peacock. The man has a conical headdress on his head, and the facial features are simple with a straight mouth and closed eyes. The man wears a necklace and bracelets. The peacock sits on the man's left shoulder, its body facing the right. The entire statue appears to be made of dark-colored stone. The background is black.
