PARVATI - South India, Vijayanagar Period, circa 1400 

Superbly, solidly and expressively cast standing in elegantly swayed tribhanga on a round lotus base over a square plinth, wearing a long dhoti falling in undulating folds secured with a sash around the waist, multiple necklaces, armlets, and bracelets, her face slightly tilted with a graceful expression surmounted by a conical headdress, the details very finely executed and chase.

Mother Goddess,  (31 x 9 inches)

Rajasthan, Northwestern India, Gupta Period, 5th-6th Century

Sets of seven or eight mother goddesses were installed in side chambers near the entrance to Hindu temples. From one of the most naturalistic and charming sets, this mother attentively grasps the wrist of her toddler to gently guide him, while smiling lovingly and patiently at him. The simplicity of garments and ornament is characteristic of sculpture of the 5th and 6th centuries, and the naturalistic qualities of this work from northwestern India suggest connections with the Greco-Roman styles of Gandhara, in present-day Pakistan.
