Vishnu — Histoire et analyse

Cette statuette du dieu hindou Vishnu a subi quelques modifications au fil du temps. La divinité tient un disque (cakra) dans sa main droite levée, tandis que sa main gauche abaissée repose probablement sur un gourdin (gada). Cependant, son bras droit inférieur est curieux : il était probablement courbé à l'origine et a été redressé pour la symétrie lors d'une restauration ultérieure.

En tout cas, l'auréole rayonnante derrière sa tête a été ajoutée plus tard.
