Big, handcrafted Deity made of Brass (24cm). It has been produced in South India. This is Dhanvantari, who came from the milk ocean and brought the knowledge of Ayurveda.

Bhagavata Purana states that Dhanvantari emerged from the Ocean of Milk and appeared with the pot of amrita (nectar) during the story of the Samudra (or) Sagara Mathana whilst the ocean was being churned by the Devas and Asuras, using the Mandara mountain and the serpent Vasuki.
