It is a copper-gilt statuette from Nepal, now in the Calcutta Art Gallery, representing a demi-god, probably Kuvera, the god of worldly prosperity. Divested of his divine attributes, the crown and two supplementary arms, it is a most vivid and speaking portrait of a well-fed, self-indulgent Lama or Brahmin priest, fond of good living and of all things which make life pleasant and comfortable. - [Previous: c10.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c10.62) - [Next: c10.64](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c10.64) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c10.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.havell-1908.c10.63) · Pramāṇa
