This engraving, titled "Beeld van boeddha Ixora vereerd in India", is a depiction of the Hindu deity Ixora, who is shown with multiple arms holding various objects. The artwork was created by Dutch artist Jan Lucas van der Beek between 1763 and 1818. The engraving is a fine example of the Dutch artist's interest in depicting foreign cultures, and it offers viewers insight into 18th century perceptions of Hinduism. The artwork currently resides at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
