Item Details
Description
South Asia, Central India, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Bastar, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A wonderful folk bronze figure of a goddess from Bastar, created by the Dhokra (Dokra) lost wax method of casting. Standing on a cuboid plinth, the figure is adorned in layers of necklaces and caged skirt as a mandorla frames her stylized head. Dotted, striated, twisted, and scrolled motifs elaborately embellish her upper body and head. Bastar is a tribal region known for its traditional techniques for casting bronze sculptures. Special statues of elephants, horses, gods, and goddesses were traditionally created for the Dussehra festival in Jagdalpuer, the Mandei spring festival. Size: 3.1" L x 5.2" W x 17" H (7.9 cm x 13.2 cm x 43.2 cm)
