Hindu deity statue

Hi. This looks older to me, but maybe the patina is faked?

I'm not sure who it is, either. (3 faces, 4 arms, maybe a left-hand missing finger, big feet)

Thank you for any help!!

You forgot to mention that he has three faces.

This probably identifies him as a Hindu "trimurti", representing the three main Hindu gods - Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. The style looks like an older Indonesian style, so Any Jewelry will doubtless have more to say.

Nice-- thank you!

It's weird that the link you found is from my own city...

 

The many faced god........... GOT

 

It is a replica of a Hindu-Javanese bronze. These replicas are always patinated, not to fake, but to replicate the historic statue.
Most of these replicas are made in East Java.

I tried to find the original, but haven't so far.

The three faces represent the Trimurti, as 2many said.
During most of the Hindu-Buddhist period Java was Saivite, so Shiva was the supreme deity. That means that in this case the Trimurti isn't a unity of three separate Gods, but Brama and Vishnu are regarded as aspects of Shiva.
These aspects have the same role in the cycle of life as the three separate Gods, so creation (Brahma), preservation (Vishnu), and destruction (Shiva).

 

Super info AJ. Thank you for the help!

I like him / them very much.

 

I have a few of these Javanese replicas, I love the style.
I also have a small original one, from the late Hindu period. And a few antique folk bronzes, a very basic but charming style.
