Cast brass standing figure of Ravana, king of Lanka and chief of demons (rakshasas), who abducted Sita wife of Rama as described in the Ramayana. The Demon king has ten heads and twenty arms. The large central head wears a Deccani crown, with four smaller heads to the right and five to the left. He is wearing a dhoti with the ends from the back tucked up in front at the waist. The two main hands hold a bow and arrow, with nine smaller, empty hands off each arm. He stands on a low, simplified lotus above a flat square, which may have slotted into a larger base.
