This old brass sculpture was used for worship at home (wear on the face!).  It came from an estate and has been in my possession for several decades.  The sculpture stands 5 3/8" high and is in good condition.  Some blemishes on the base come from the casting (tiny hole in base from this process). The sculpture was made in the lost wax process, in which the form holding the image is shattered.  Vishnu, here, is represented with his attributes in the grace giving  (right hand) pose.
