An Indian Raj period carved figure of the Goddess Parvati, circa 1900

Located in Central England, GB

This superb hand carved sandalwood figure is Indian from the Raj period and dates to circa 1900. It depicts the Hindu goddess Parvati, who represents love, fertility and devotion. Parvati is beautiful. She is semi-naked and very ornate in her elaborate costume. She is holding her Deity son Ganesha, who is part human with an elephant’s head and is known in Hindu mythology as the remover of obstacles. This remarkable figure group is carved from solid sandalwood, the very material that Hindu mythology suggests Parvati made her son Ganesha from. The figure group is exceptionally well carved equal to what could be described in European circles as exhibition quality. The finely carved figure is raised and mounted onto an elaborate carved and moulded stepped stand made from matching figured sandalwood. This very fine piece of Hindu art...
