Parvati

 The Shivite people are devout followers of Parvati’s paramour, Shiva. Standing at 5 feet tall, this goddess was solid cast in one piece. This late bronze incorporates the fluid Chola style with later Vijayanagara Period style hair ornamentation. This early 20th Century rendering of Parvati shows beautiful details in the hands with clearly outlined fingernails.
