About this piece
A little deity with pink-tinted metal and a ball held in one hand.
This bronze figure of a standing Vishnu is from India and the record dates it to the 17th century. Vishnu is commonly worshipped in Hindu households as a protector and preserver, and small bronzes like this were often kept at home altars. The figure stands tall on a stepped plinth, crowned and richly adorned, with long scarf ends flaring at the hips. One hand holds a rounded object. A pinkish tone shows across the bronze where the finish has worn.
About five inches tall. Small in size, and generous in presence.
