18th century

Sold by Curious Antiques

Description

Fine late 18th century Indian polychrome statue of the Hindu goddess Saraswati, c1790. Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge and the arts and is traditionally shown playing a musical instrument called a veena. Hand carved and painted this is a nicely composed and executed example and the colours are still vibrant. Highly decorative the statue would display well in a traditional or modern setting. Overall condition is good with only minor surface wear/loss of paint/rubbing, exactly as you would expect from an old example. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact me if you would like to view the item or have any questions.
