A standing figure of the god Vishnu of the "adhama" class. It is represented in Bhogasthanakamurti or the standing pose for granting Enjoyment. The upper right hand holds the wheel (cakra), the upper left the conch (sankha); in both cases the symbols are linked to the headdress with a thread of metal, apparently for reinforcement. The lower left hand rests on the mace (gada); the lower right hand holds the lotus (padma) in the palm. The reverse side is only roughly finished. There is no sign of a srivatsa symbol above the right breast. The figure wears a coronet of a type worn by Kathakali dancers. There are six holes around the head for the insertion of garlands or other ornaments. The lower garment consists of a skirt-like loin cloth worn with a sash, the ends of which hang down at the sides. Another sash-like end piece is joined to the lower right hand. Other details include a somewhat prominent belly, a sacred cord which appears to pass underneath the waistband, and makara kundala ear pendants. The figure is apparently cast in one piece with a small circular lotus pedestal and a rectangular base, the latter with projecting tenons for the support of an arched surround or torana, now missing. The presence of encrusted carbonate matter in surface crevices confirms a period of earth-burial.
