Descripción de objeto de Curationist

This image of the goddess Hariti, at the viewer's right, is difficult to make out due to decreased quality. However, it shows us an important aspect of her iconography. Hariti is pictured, as usual, holding her child, and she is seated next to what appears to be a male deity. This figure may be Hariti's consort, Panchika, the yaksha or nature spirit who fathered her 500 children. Panchika is often considered the general of the yaksha army. It could also be Kubera, king of the yakshas, and a Kushan and Buddhist deity of good fortune and wealth—though unlike this figure, Kubera is typically depicted with a large, bare belly representing abundance.
