Jambhala seated on a double-reverse lotus base with beaded rim, one leg pendant on a smaller, extending flower, the other leg drawn to his body.

He is holding a fruit in his right hand resting on his knee, the other hand is holding the mongoose Nehulay. The body is adorned with jewellery, the expression welcoming and attentive. He wears large hoops as earrings and a winged tiara.

The bronze was in extensively use and therefore slightly rubbed. Resealed
