Indian alabaster statue. deity ?

[francantolin]

Hello,

really good idea about Surya sun god ( and the missing sun flowers/ lotus...?)


Here a picture of a similar work on alabaster with gilted parts and painted,
22 inches high, said to be 19th century and indian Jaipur style.


Sure not the same god/caracter,
this is Vishnu, with his four arms and conch, mace, chakra...

Thank you both for your message !!

I didn't know Surya,
Nice positive energy if its a representation of the sun god !

I will pick up the statue soon,
It mesure 22-23 inches high and I think must be a little heavy...

I will post other close pictures of the hands and see if there is a hole for flowers ( I first thought about missing weapons or candles )

Kind regards

Hello,
I got it,
here some pictures.
Fin really well done the carving and the paintings details.
There is place for missing elements,
sunflowers as Colin wrote if it is Surya
( or lotus)
Interesting the details on the inside of the hands
( like henna tatouage...)

19th, maybe 18th century piece
now you just have to find the flowers,
or put fresh one and change them everyday...........
