Figure of Attendant Deity

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Golden statue of a figure with a halo behind their head. The figure has a bun on top of their head and is wearing a long robe. The robe has red accents along the edges and is depicted in a style that suggests folds and draping. The statue stands on a decorative base that appears to have a design resembling waves or clouds. The halo is circular and appears to be made of a darker metal than the gold of the statue. The figure's hands are clasped together in front of their body.
