I am a little late but I have no doubts that it is Matsya, the first avatar of Visnu.
If you examine the carving carefully you may notice it has four arms. Two lowered and two raised above the head. Very similar to the figure from another Khanjarli with the ten avatars of Vishnu. I attach some illustrations for reference. Last edited by mariusgmioc; 13th November 2021 at 07:49 AM. |
