Figure3073/1

Ceramic figure of the deity Lokapala standing on a cow. The figure wears full armour with dragon heads at the shoulders, a robe that flows out from under a waistcoat, long pants, and boots. His left hand rests on his hip, while the right is extended to hold a weapon (piece missing). Lokapala is smiling fiercely, with a thick brow above dark eyes. His hair is piled atop his head in a simple but decorative arrangement. The cow below his feet is small, lying on the ground in a resting posture with legs folded beneath, head raised, eyes open. The base of the sculpture mimics rough earthen terrain.
