Provenance

From a Private Swedish Collector, who purchased it from an antique dealer in Stockholm.

Literature

The Buddhist god of wealth Vaiśravaṇa (also known as Kubera or Jambhala in Sanskrit) is frequently depicted holding a mongoose in his left hand which spews out jewels from its mouth. The mongoose is the enemy of the snake, a symbol of greed; the ejection of jewels represents generosity.
