Close-up photograph of a polished black stone sculpture of a deity murti, showing a carved figure with an elaborate crown-like headdress with swirling incised patterns, a raised hand with a mudra, and ornate beaded jewellery and necklaces across the chest. A green leaf appears at the edge of the frame, and the sculpture's face is partly visible at the right. No people are present; the sculpture is the sole subject against a pale sandy background.
