This is Ekamukha (single-faced) Dattatreya. Followers of Dattatreya believe he is the combined form of the Hindu trinity, Brahma, Vishnu and Siva. Here, he is identified by the attributes. His lowest hands hold Akshamala (prayer beads) and a water pot (Kamandala), attributes of Brahma. The hands above that hold Chakra and Shankha, attributes of Vishnu. The topmost hands hold the drum and Trishul, attributes of Siva.

Dattatreya is sitting in Padmasana on a multilevel base. Wearing a single neckwear and one wristband on each of the arms, the bronze is a simple one.

The most popular depiction, especially in paintings, of Dattatreya is with three heads and six arms. The seated Dattatreya on this blog may be compared with a single-faced standing one on this site. The order of attributes in the standing one is Brahma, Siva and Vishnu. Could not help but notice it, and I do not think it makes a difference.

This is made of brass, and it is from Western India. Probably from Maharashtra. The icon is about 7.5 cm in height. It may date back to the eighteenth or the nineteenth century.
