拍品专文

The curling vines behind her head are possibly branches from a mango or other fruit tree, enhancing the fertile nature of this goddess. Another figure of a goddess with similar treatment of the branches coming from the Doris Wiener Collection was sold previously in these rooms (Christie's New York, 20 March 2012, lot 48).
