EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th century sandstone carving depicts the Hindu Goddess Parvati, also known as Shiva's consort and the goddess of love, fertility, and nature. The sculpture, originating from India or Southeast Asia, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region during the eleventh century. The goddess is depicted in a full-length pose, standing gracefully with her arms raised in a gesture of blessing. Her naked form is adorned with intricate jewelry and flowers, including lotus blooms in her hair and at her feet. The delicate carving technique, with its fine details and lifelike quality, showcases the masterful artistry of the unknown craftsman. The magnesian schist base, inscribed with the deity's name in Sanskrit, adds to the piece's historical significance. This beautiful work of art, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the deep spiritual connection between people and nature that is central to Hinduism and Indian culture.
