Antique Indian Sheesham Wood Temple Sculpture Depicting a Woman Wearing a Tunic

About the Item

An antique Indian sheesham wood temple statue of a woman wearing a tunic from the 19th century, with headdress, traces of polychromy and nicely weathered patina. Originating from a temple in India, this architectural element was handcrafted in the 19th century. The sculpture depicts a woman wearing a headdress topping her elegant braided hair, her calm face tilted slightly towards the ground. Her right arm is brought up behind her head and her left hand rests on her thigh. The torsion of her body, created by the placement of her feet one behind the other, creates a very lively effect. She is wearing a short tunic, accented with traces of polychromy. The ensemble is resting on a worn circular base. Boasting a wonderfully aged patina revealing the piece's good age and function in a temple, this Indian Sheesham wood statue from the 19th century will make for a wonderful addition to any home, perhaps placed in a foyer or a living room.
