EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bronze statuette of Parvati, the revered consort of Siva, dating back to the 14th century. Hailing from South India and currently part of the esteemed British Museum's collection, this artifact exemplifies the artistic brilliance of the South Indian school. The statuette depicts Parvati in all her divine glory, with intricate details adorning every inch of her body. Her gentle hand gestures convey a sense of grace and power that is synonymous with Hindu goddesses. As an embodiment of femininity and strength, Parvati stands as a symbol of devotion within Hinduism. The artist masterfully captures Parvati's nakedness without any hint of vulgarity or impropriety. The subtle coloration adds depth to the statue while highlighting its religious significance. Notably, attention is drawn to her breasts and nipples which represent fertility and nourishment - attributes associated with motherhood. As we delve into this fourteenth-century masterpiece by CM Dixon, we are transported to a realm where deity meets artistry. This bronze object serves as a testament to both religious reverence and artistic excellence that has endured through centuries. Its presence in one of the world's most renowned museums allows us to appreciate its cultural significance beyond mere aesthetic appeal.
