This photo shows a carved stone statue of a seated figure with four arms, sitting on a lion. The figure wears a headdress with detailed patterns and holds objects in its hands. The statue sits on a broken stone base, with a small niche behind it. This image was taken in the 1850s by a photographer documenting temples in Southern India. The photo captures the wear and age of the carving, showing how it was found in ruins. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
