Three Figurines of Deities

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a gold-colored metal figurine. The figurine, titled "Three Figurines of Deities" by an unknown artist, shows a deity sitting cross-legged. The deity's face is round with a wide mouth and nose. The deity wears a crown-like object on its head. It has its left hand raised to its chest and its right hand resting on its right knee. The background of the image is plain white. The small object suggests it could be a part of a larger piece of jewelry or a standalone decorative item.
