Likely representing a divinity figure, this expressive wooden figure possesses both a sense of whimsy and potent energy. Remnants of pigment suggest that this sculpture was once accented with vivid color, further imbuing the figure with a powerful presence. Standing on a stylized lily pad, the figure holds an animated stance and sports a lush beard and frenzied hairstyle, possibly representing an ascetic aspect of the Hindu god Shiva or a Buddhist guardian.
