Introducing an evocative bronze votive figure, 5.5 by 3 cm, manifesting the spiritual devotion of Southeast Asia between the 7th and 9th centuries CE. This piece, representing a deity with four arms, a common motif in Hindu and Buddhist iconography, was likely a personal devotional item or part of a domestic altar. The figure's attire and posture are indicative of the period's sculptural styles, with each hand possibly having held symbolic items, now lost to time. The votive's green patina accents its age, adding character to this symbol of ancient faith and artistry.
