Description

This life sized and well carved Raj period Indian bust depicts a female goddess or deity. It is hand carved from a single large piece of stone which is naturally greenish in colour with small white fragments which are most likely pieces of fossilised shell.

The head and shoulders bust shows a distinctive female wearing a tunic with an ornate neck and matching headdress. She has a flower mounted behind one ear and is carrying a decorative bowl on her head. The bowl is well hollowed and intended to be a planter for colourful and exotic flowers or plants.
We believe this fine stone sculpture has been used and displayed indoors but could also be used in a garden setting.

Indian, circa 1920

Height 60cm x width 30cm x depth 28cm
