A small brass or bronze murti of a seated deity in profile against a plain yellow background. The figure has a tall jata-style coiffure with a crest, holds a trident (trishula) upright in one hand, and rests on a tiered square pedestal with a stepped moulded base. The object is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present. The photo is a catalogue-style product shot of a ritual item, part of an archive of objects used in childhood puja.
