Figure démoniaque — Histoire et analyse

Cette petite figure est représentée dans une pose active, avec son genou droit replié et son bras droit jeté à travers son corps. La moustache et le large poignard dans son dos sont des caractéristiques de Mahakala, le gardien de Shiva, mais il pourrait également être l'esprit du démon buffle sous une forme humaine. (Les deux figures sont représentées ailleurs dans cette galerie.)
