INDONESIA, JAVA, 8TH/9TH CENTURY

The four-armed goddess is seated in vajrasana, holding various items including a fly whisk and possibly a conch in her lower left hand. Despite its small size, this work has been cast with tremendous attention to detail. Note the stippled pattern on her dhoti and sash and her elaborate jewelry and headdress. Compare with another silver Javanese figure of Akshobhya sold at Christie's New York on 22 March 2011, lot 32.
