Antique Indian Carved Wood Sculpture of Parvati with Vibrant Polychrome
About the Item
An Indian late 19th, early 20th century carved and painted wooden fragment depicting Parvati. A commanding presence in carved wood, this antique Indian sculpture captures the fluid grace of Parvati, the revered consort of Shiva. The figure stands poised in a dynamic posture, one arm elegantly raised while the other curves at her waist, evoking the rhythm of classical temple carvings. Swirling floral and vine motifs frame her form, intertwining with smaller attendant figures at her feet, suggesting divine guardianship.
Timeworn layers of pigment—faded reds, blues, and earthy golds—soften the once-vibrant polychrome finish, leaving behind a rich, muted patina. The openwork carving lends a sense of airiness, allowing light to filter through its delicate tracery. Depictions of jewelry and fabric detailing remain visible, accentuating the flowing movement of her attire.
Likely originating from a palace setting, this architectural fragment carries the weight of tradition, artistry, and devotion. Mounted or displayed as a standalone piece, it brings an undeniable presence to interiors, merging historical grandeur with an organic, sculptural beauty that commands attention in any space.

Japanese Wood Carved Polychrome Sculpture of a Seated Temple Monk, Edo Period
Located in Studio City, CA
This is truly a wonderful piece with clear age and a nice patina to it. Very unique. We have not seen another quite like it. The monk appears to have glass eyes which gives his expression a very humanistic feel. The head is removable (please see the last image).
From a collection of Japanese arts and artifacts. Most likely dates back to the Edo period.
Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
