Carved from a richly green stone, this sculpture carries the quiet luminosity of earth and the eternal fertility it symbolizes.
The color feels deliberate: it evokes growth, renewal, and the boundless abundance through which life continually regenerates.
The imagery deepens this impression. The child’s hand rests naturally upon the mother’s bosom, capturing the most instinctive gesture of nourishment and trust. On her other side, her palm grazes a gentle deer, a creature long associated with tenderness, innocence, and the rhythms of nature. Above them, flowering vines arch like blessings from the earth itself.
Every element reinforces the presence of the primordial feminine. She is Prakriti, the pulse of creation. She is Bhudevi, the sustaining earth. She is Mother, the universal matriarch who nurtures all beings with the same generosity.
Nothing in the composition is accidental; each detail folds into the greater idea of a world held and nourished in her embrace.
The sculptor remains faithful to the grammar of temple iconography. Her tribhaṅga posture, ornate jewelry, and flowing textiles evoke the classical stance of divine femininity seen across Indian sacred art.
And yet, the choice of green stone gives this traditional language a new vitality. The sculpture feels familiar and ancient, but also freshly imagined- a timeless archetype emerging from a living, breathing material.
The Mother stands not as a single deity, but as the very principle of life: the earth that gives, the nature that shelters, the maternal force that sustains existence itself.
