Parkham Yaksha, Stone statue at Government Museum Mathura, India
The Parkham Yaksha statue measures 2.6 meters in height, including a 30-centimeter base, displaying refined craftsmanship in its stone carving techniques.
Eight brothers from the Manibhada congregation created this statue around 150 BCE, as indicated by the inscription in Brahmi script on its base.
The statue represents Manibhadra, a deity considered a protector of merchants and guardian against diseases in ancient Indian traditions.
Visitors can examine the statue's Greek-influenced design elements, particularly in the drapery and folds, at the Government Museum in Mathura.
The statue contains one of only four known inscriptions referencing the Yaksha Manibhadra, making it a significant archaeological discovery.
