Description
Although damage to the attributes held by this plump, four-armed male deity obscures his identity, he is likely Agni, god of fire and protector of the southeastern direction. Accompanied by a woman holding a flywhisk, Agni is represented with a beard and matted locks of hair. Near the god’s feet is a flame-like form, perhaps the sacrificial fire that Agni embodies. This sculptural panel once belonged to the wall of a temple or shrine.
