Gilt bronze figure of Kāla-Jambhala (Black Jambhala).
This divinity is one of the forms of Jambhala, here under the wrathful aspect of a pot-bellied dwarf. He stands, in front of a flamed mandorla, stamping next to Kubera, the god of riches of the Hindu pantheon. Kāla-Jambhala carries a skull-shaped coupe filled with blood in his right hand and a "jewel-spewing mongoose " in the left hand.
China, 18th century
