Title: 13" Devi Saraswati Seated on Kirtimukha Throne | Hoysala Bronze Statue

Description: Ornate decoration, stylized forms, and regal poses are classic elements of Hoysala iconography, making it perfect for the deception of the heavenly goddess Saraswati in this bronze statue. Devi Saraswati is elevated by an elaborate pedestal, seated on a two-tiered lotus throne, a symbol of divinity and wisdom. Yali (horse and lion composite), Makara, and Kirtimukha- elements of Hindu architecture are used in the aureole, to give the icon a splendid aura. A Hamsa, Saraswati’s mount, sits in her feet, embodying the attitude of an ardent learner, taking refuge in the mother of arts and knowledge.
