A brass murti of the three-headed deity Dattatreya stands on a dark background, dressed in a green fabric wrap and draped with rudraksha and bead malas. Three faces rise above, each with a tilak, and the figure holds a trident, a damaru, a staff and a kamandalu-like vessel, with cow and dog figures at its feet. A pink and white jeweled crown and an om pendant adorn the figure. A handwritten card in front reads DATTA REYA by RAMAN, indicating the artist. No people are visible; the murti is the only subject, and it is a sculpture rather than a living person.
