Temple attendant from the Kerala region from the end of the 18.century. Unfortunate until now it could not specified to what category this Murthy is connected (it is not an Alwar!), but due to the design of the Pitha (pedestal), his Mukutta (crown), weapons and his style of Dhoti it comes from the region of south Kerala. Material is copper with silver alloy. Size is 6,5 cm and weight of 40g. Rare piece !
