Shiva, in fine bronze-cast openwork, on a decorated base. Shiva is holding his silver mace, a diamond-shaped object in his upper left hand, and holds snakes in his two lower hands. These snakes, and others, coil around his figure and connect him to two tiny figures either side of his legs. These are his attendants the 'Ganas'.
