A gilt bronze figure of Vasudhara

Unifying scholarly wisdom and knowledge of nature's mysteries into a single, female form, the Goddess Vasudhara is particularly popular as a household deity throughout Nepal. Worshiped for fertility and prosperity, she bestows generosity with her lower right hand in varadamudra and holds in the remaining hands a rain of jewels, book, sheaf of grain, and water pot.

The inscription on the base has been translated and published by Ian Alsop: "On the seventh day of the bright half of Magha, in the year 28[7?], [this image of] Sri Vasudharani was consecrated. May the donor Jasapala Candra obtain the unsurpassed reward. May it be good."
