An ancient town called Osia in the Jodhpur or Mārwār State possesses no less than twelve old temples, mostly referred by Mr. Bhandarkar to the eighth century. In one of these, No. 9, known as the shrine of Devī, is the image of Kuvera, the god of riches, which may be compared with the effigies of the same deity in Gandhāra and elsewhere (Fig. 149). As a work of art it does not rank high.²
