Brass figurine of Vishnu on Shesha (3.3x1.6x1 cm)

This miniature statuette, just 3.3 cm tall, is made of brass and depicts one of the most recognizable scenes of Hindu iconography: Vishnu under the multi-headed hood of Shesha. The deity's figure has multiple arms and rests on a small base, while the open heads of the serpent form a characteristic protective canopy above it. A similar composition is traditionally used in depictions of Vishnu associated with Shesha, also known as Ananta.
In the Hindu tradition, Vishnu is associated with the preservation and maintenance of cosmic order, and Shesha is his divine serpent companion. The image of Vishnu and Shesha is also known as Shesha-Narayana.
The brass surface has a golden-dark hue, highlighting the relief of the face, hands, clothing, and snake hood. Thanks to its compact size, the figurine easily displays alongside incense burners, Tibetan bowls, and other Indian deities, or stands alone as a small decorative sculpture. Ideal for collectors of oriental miniatures and those interested in Indian culture and symbolism.
