A carved black stone statue of Vishnu, depicted standing on a rectangular lotus-form plinth with four arms holding traditional attributes including a conch and discus. The figure is richly decorated with yellow polychrome garments, gilt-painted crown, jewelry, arm bands, and floral necklace detailing, with expressive painted facial features and applied orange accents to the hands and feet. The surface shows age-related wear, scattered paint loss, rubbing to the gilt and polychrome decoration, minor chips, scuffs, and oxidation consistent with handling and display. A striking devotional figure with strong visual presence and appealing patina. Approx. dimensions (in): 25 x 9.25 x 4.5.
