This is a good-sized mid-19th century statue of Annapurna, originating from western India. Annapurna is the Hindu goddess of food and cooking and is an incarnation of Parvati, the wife of Shiva. She is depicted holding her traditional spoon (chammach) across her lap, and her legs are crossed below her in the lotus position. On the end of the spoon you can clearly see 5 morsels of food. I particularly like the detail of this murti. Notice the knot in her hair and the graceful crossing of her legs, with finely chased pattern on her trousers. One side of the rush behind her has been broken off long ago, but the murti is otherwise in very good condition. Height 9.6 cm, width 5.6 cm |
