Seated Kubera

This is a seated figure of Yaksha, probably Kubera. The god of wealth is seated at ease on a block pedestal. Both arms and right leg are missing, except for the right foot; the ears, nose, lower lip, and left foot are damaged. The figure has a rotund belly and stumpy legs. The hair is arranged in curly ringlets all over the head. The eyeballs are engraved, and the mustache is well-trimmed. He wears an elaborated garland around the neck with two plaited ends around the left shoulder, in front, and at the back. The lower garment with drapery folds is held at the waist by a cord. He also wears a scarf. The row of peeping teeth is suggestive of an indifferent smile.
