The carving exhibits intricate details, including added jewelry and facial features. This antique deity statue is believed to originate from 19th century India or an earlier period and is mounted on a thin metal stand. The figure is three-dimensional and represents an attendant in the shrine. Expressive carvings highlight the hair, face, and jewelry ornaments with an aged dark patinated finish. **Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio lighting.
