Parvati is the Hindu goddess associated with fertility, love and devotion. Considered the epitome of female perfection, she assumes multiple identities as a young maiden, wife, and mother. As the female counterpart to Shiva, she is the active agent of the universe and the animating force that brings skill, power, prowess, and genius while infusing the world with her magic.
This exquisitely cast figure highlights her sensuous femininity through the drapery of her garment and delicately stylized jewelry. Poised in tribhanga on a double lotus atop a square base, her left hand delicately extended in the lolahastamudra and her right hand in katakamukhamudra.
