Description: | Copper alloyFigurine. Solid cast figurine representing the Hindu Monkey God Hanuman. The figure stands erect with hands clasped together and held horizontally before the midriff. The figurine is two-sided; the two sides are identical except that there is one side with a monkey face and one side with a human face. The figure/s wears a tiered hat or helmet with a small rhomboid crest, a neck ring, a cloak, and a dhoti; the lower legs are bare and the figure stands erect with them held together. The costume identifies the figure of aristocratic standing, as befitting a deity. The object retains the brown tint of uncorroded copper alloy. The object was probably made in India or elsewhere in South East Asia, arriving here either as a 'hippy shop' import, or possibly as the property of a modern Hindu devotee. Suggested date: Modern, 1960-2000.Height: 108mm, Width: 30mm, Thickness (clear of projecting hands and faces): 9.7mm, Weight: 108.48gms.
