Lord Hanuman Statue

Standing statue with a burnished antique bronze or dark gold finish, set against a plain, dark background. The figure features a distinct monkey-like face, wearing an elaborate, highly detailed crown and backed by a large circular halo with carved edges. Its muscular, bare upper body is adorned with multiple intricate necklaces and chest ornaments, while a draped, pleated cloth falls elegantly over its left shoulder and right arm. The figure's right hand is raised forward with the palm facing outward in a traditional gesture of blessing or reassurance, while its left hand rests on the long, twisted handle of a large mace that features a bulbous, ornately carved head resting on the ground. The lower body is dressed in a heavily draped, pleated dhoti secured by a wide, detailed waistband with a central hanging decorative element. The barefoot figure stands on a low, flat, circular pedestal detailed with a continuous lotus petal motif. Notably, despite the prompt's description, the statue holds a mace rather than a book.
