A gilded metal statue of a four-armed female deity stands on a tiered rectangular base against a blue cloth backdrop with white stripes. She wears a tall cylindrical crown decorated with red and green stones, a red bindi, a multi-coloured jewelled necklace and earrings, and a white draped garment with gold border. She plays a long ornate veena held across her body in two hands, while another hand holds a jewelled mala or bracelet. The figure is an image of a deity murti, not a person, so no physical people are present.
