Brass figurine of Kubera (3.4 x 1.8 x 1 cm)

Kubera is depicted as a small, seated figure with a prominent, rounded belly, a high headdress, and massive jewelry. His plump, stocky figure is characteristic of traditional Kubera iconography: in museum collections, the deity is also depicted with a large belly and attributes associated with wealth and treasure.
In the Hindu tradition, Kubera is known as the lord of wealth, jewels, and treasures. His symbolism is associated not only with the acquisition of wealth but also with the preservation of accumulated wealth. Kubera is also considered a guardian deity of the cardinal directions and is associated with the north direction.
The figurine is crafted from brass. Dark recesses highlight the relief of the face, clothing, jewelry, and base, while the protruding parts retain the gold hue of the metal. At just 3.4 cm tall, the figurine fits perfectly on a small home altar, work table, shelf, or among a collection of Indian deities.
This miniature would be a perfect gift for someone interested in Indian culture, Hinduism, and traditional Eastern symbolism.
