Brass shrine depicting Lakshminarayana. It is Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi. Here, the four-armed Vishnu holding his consort, Lakshmi, is seated together on a double lotus. His vahana is at the front,  a diminutive figure of Garuda.

The lower garment of Vishnu is draped unusually. Normally, it is tightly wrapped around the thighs, and here it almost looks like a kilt. I have seen pictures of a Vishnu idol from Chitrapur Math with a dhoti draped similarly.

This is probably from North Karnataka or Maharashtra. Brass is commonly used in Maharashtra for making idols. The loops at the back of the Prabhavali are typical of that region.

The iconography of Garuda differs from that of a typical South Indian Garuda. Notice the human-like face and absence of beak-like nose and claws in the feet as opposed to toes.

It comprises three sections: Base (Peetha), back plate (Prabhavali) and the idol. This is probably from the 18th century. This is about 21.5 cm in height.
