This nimbate triad depicts Vishnu joined by two personifications of his divine weapons. The three are attentive to the viewer, the diminutive helpers greeting with their hands in anjali mudra, and Vishnu offering darshan, the opportunity to be seen by Him. From 8th-/9th-century Northeastern India, this bronze is exemplative of earlier Pala bronzes, known for more spirited presentations of their deities. Broad facial features reminiscent of the Gupta style, a circular aureole with pendant leaves framing Vishnu's crown, and a visible armature at the back inform this attribution. A closely related, larger shrine is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2015.500.4.10).??Published?John Siudmak, Indian and Himalayan Sculpture and Thangkas from the Collection of the Late Simon Digby, London, 2011, pp.20-1, no.3.??Provenance?The Simon Digby Collection?John Siudmak Asian Art, London, 2011
