About this piece
She holds her pose on a lotus, and has held it for centuries.
A South Indian metalworker in Karnataka cast this standing figure of Anapurna, or Annapurna, in brass in the 18th century. Annapurna is a Hindu goddess of food and nourishment, and small brass images were commonly kept for household worship. The figure stands in a gentle bend, wearing a tall crown, a necklace and a long pleated garment, with arms held out to each side. She rests on a square plinth with a petal-shaped base.
About 5 inches tall. A modest scale with considerable presence.
