A dark brown and green bronze sculpture depicts the child-saint Sambandar dancing on a circular base. He balances on his right foot and lifts his left leg, extending his left arm while raising his right hand. He wears a tall, tiered headdress, large circular earrings, and multiple necklaces. A decorated waistband secures a short garment around his hips as he faces forward with a serene expression.
