    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    A rare bronze statuette of the monkey god Hanuman with a brown patina.
    The deity wears a stylized, pointed bun shaped like a tiara (karanda mukuta), adorned with rudimentary necklaces and a short loincloth draped around the hips (dhoti), engraved with simple motifs. His hands are joined in prayer before his chest in the Anjali Mudra.
    India, 18th century. 
    Height: 8.5 cm.

    Very beautiful, dark brown patina from use, evidence of repeated handling (ritual anointing with oil, water, or sacred powders during pujas).

    For a similar piece currently held in a museum collection, see the comparison reproduced in the last image, published in a reference work. 

    Hanuman is one of the most popular deities in Hinduism. He is the monkey god, a symbol of absolute devotion, strength, and humility. He is the ultimate example of devotion.
    He is often invoked to ward off evil spirits, overcome fear, and surmount obstacles. Praying to him (particularly through a very famous poem called the Hanuman Chalisa) brings courage and protection.
