Hanuman Figurine

Gloss porcelain figurine of the Monkey God, embellished with enamel and colours which pay homage to the richness of Hindu iconography.

Hanuman is the monkey God, the most prominent representative of the vanaras, a race of ape-men who lived in the forests of South India. They were great warriors; courageous, loyal, honest and gentle.
