The Lokapala Kubera, Regent of the North
The Lokapala Kubera, Regent of the North, bronze sculpture depicts a male figure with a serene expression. He has a slender build and wears a crown-like structure on his head. His hair is styled in a manner that falls down his back. The figure's attire consists of a short top and long pants. He holds a cylindrical object in his right hand, while his left hand is open and appears to be facing downward. His other hand is positioned in front of him with palms pressed together. To the right of the figure stands a dog, which appears to be a large breed with its mouth open. The sculpture exhibits a green patina, indicating it is made of bronze. The background of the image features a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
