Jain Goddess Padmavati
A seated four-armed goddess rests on a lotus pedestal within an openwork arched shrine of copper alloy. Two attendant figures stand at either side, and a small seated figure crowns the canopy above, with a crouching animal at the base.
Look closer: A small crouching animal, likely a lion or ram, sits at the base of the pedestal.
