Description: A tall, hand-carved solid wood statue from India featuring traditional gesso-work and vibrant polychrome pigments. The figure is depicted in a graceful, formal stance, wearing a traditional dhoti with intricate painted patterns and layered necklaces.
 
Condition: Good Antique Condition. Consistent with its age, the figure shows a heavily weathered patina, including natural cracking to the gesso and areas of authentic pigment loss. These characteristics verify its origin and age, adding to its charm as a provincial folk-art artifact. The solid wood structure remains stable.
