Indian, Hindu richly grained burled wood carving of the Goddess Kali or Parvati. Exceptionaelly fin carved detail, The wood is very dense, ebony or similar.
The sculpture is 7 inches (18cm) in height, mounted on a oval wooden base which is about 3/4 inch (2cm) in height. Dimensions: Height of sculpture 7 Inches (18cm) Width 4 Inches (11cm) at shoulder Condition: Excellent, a slight bit of wear (flake) to point of crown on right side. Please view all photos. The carving and wood used are unique.
NOTE: I believe this elegant sculpture would display better with a dark square wood stand and 4" metal post. The screw is early and hand threaded. The base appears to date to 1920's.
