Vishnu — Storia e analisi

Questa statuetta del dio induista Vishnu ha subito alcune modifiche nel corso del tempo. La divinità tiene un disco (cakra) nella mano destra sollevata, mentre la sua mano sinistra abbassata probabilmente poggiava su un bastone (gada). Tuttavia, il suo avambraccio destro è curioso: probabilmente era piegato originariamente e poi raddrizzato per simmetria durante un restauro successivo.

L'aureola raggiata dietro la sua testa, in ogni caso, è stata aggiunta in seguito.
