Ashtadhatu idols

These idols were made in the 1950s. They are made of ashtadhatu, an alloy that traditionally combines eight different metals including gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, iron and antimony or mercury.

These have been in the contributor's family for over 70 years. The rumour surrounding these idols is that the artist who made them lost his eyesight after completing this statue.
