[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 306041, member: 2844"]Here it is, a little carving of Kartikeya/Murugan/Skanda, son of Shiva. He is seated on his mount the peacock, and holds the kel, a weapon with which he can defeat the enemies of the Gods. It looks like it was once part of a bigger panel, maybe it is the only part that was still presentable when the panel had to be replaced. The peacock has lost part of it's head in the process, I think. It is ca 13 cm high, found in Java in the 1930s, but I think it is from NW India.
