Bodhisattva Skanda
The Bodhisattva Skanda statue depicts a male figure with a serene facial expression, adorned with a crown and elaborate robes. The figure wears a long robe with intricate designs and patterns, featuring a diamond-shaped checkered section on the lower part. The robe flows down to the ankles, with a decorative edge and folds that resemble a train or a cloak. The figure's right hand holds an object, while the left hand grasps a curved item. Two curved protrusions extend from the crown on either side of the figure's head. The statue stands on a rectangular base with a decorative edge, featuring a raised design on the front and sides. The base is dark-colored, with a lighter-colored background that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
