Wooden sculpture covered with a gold-colored alloy, in the form of a benevolent Dvarapala holding a mobile lotus in her right hand; her left hand clutches the hem of her garment.
She wears a tiara, three-lobed armbands and an apron.
The face is smiling, with a strong expression and bulging eyes.
Her hair is pulled back in an elaborate bun.
The set is adorned with colored glass cabochons.
Good condition.
