Seated Buddha Protected by Naga (front), Dancing Multi-Headed Hevajra (back)
A weathered bronze sculpture depicts a seated figure with hands resting on knees, wearing a distinctive headpiece, sitting cross-legged on a throne. The figure is shown from the front. Behind the seated figure, a multi-headed entity with dynamic, expressive faces and hands in dynamic positions appears to be dancing. The multi-headed figure has four visible heads, each with a different facial expression. The sculpture has a rough, textured surface with visible signs of aging and wear. A serpent-like creature with a crown-like structure on its head is positioned to the left of the seated figure. The background of the image is a plain off-white color. The sculpture's title is "Seated Buddha Protected by Naga (front), Dancing Multi-Headed Hevajra (back)".
