History

Origin

Though its exact origin was obscure due to a lack of labeling in the museum, the statue's general appearance suggested a possible South Asian origin. This is further supported by the British Empire's colonisation efforts in the region during the time period.

As an exhibit

The statue was on display in one of the rooms of the Kensington museum. In 1886, during the Autumn of Death, a giant reanimated skeletal dinosaur managed to knock it over by roaring. This allowed the resurrected hero Sir Daniel Fortesque (a fellow museum exhibit) to progress further into the museum by climbing on the knocked over statue.

Characteristics

Appearance

The statue depicted a largely naked humanoid figure (likely a Dharmic deity) with four arms. The figure wore a spiked hat on its head and an elaborate necklace around its neck. It had a prominent pair of breasts and strongly defined abdominal muscles.
