Behind his head is a fan of five cobras, and three of his arms are holding a spinning disc, a conch, and a lotus with the fourth hand oriented upwards, palm out. The cartouches depict (clockwise from top left): a figure in water with a fish behind; a figure on a horse; a figure holding a stack of papers and a gold tool(?); a figure playing a flute; a figure holding a bow with a quiver of arrows behind his back; a figure with an axe; a figure with a parasol; a lion-faced figure holding a lotus flower; a boar-faced figure balancing the world on his tusks and holding a mace; and a figure holding a lotus flower with a turtle beside him.
