The
bronze figure of Wealth God Vaishravana riding a ferocious
snow lion, it is an image that imparts his strength and
vigor in battle against evils of the demon gods. The face
of the Bodhisattva is serene and dignified. His hair is
pigmented in red, wearing a five pointed crown with long
ribbon flowing like clouds to either sides. In his left
hand he holds a jewel mongoose, and what believed to be
a furled victory banner in his right has since missing.
There are seventeen double lotus petals on the base in
a single row on the closed base. The figure and pedestal
of this statue have been cast in one piece.
