Parashu Rama with Axe and Lotus
A crowned, long-robed figure holds an axe upright in one hand and a lotus in the other. The name Parashu Rama appears beside the head in the source illustration. Waddell places the Indian image within a cross-cultural comparison in The Indo-Sumerian Seals Deciphered. The image’s own identification is distinct from the further connections proposed by Waddell.
