Brass shrine with three Hindu figures. Ram is the 7th incarnation of Vishnu, and hero of the Ramayana epic. He is in the centre of this small cast bronze shrine, with his brother, the warrior archer Lakshman, on his right, and his wife Sita, on his left. Sita was stolen away by the evil demon Ravanna, and then rescued by Ram and Lakshman.
