A Shiva-Parvati murti of substantial proportions. Aesthetics that borrow heavily from the South Indian bronzes of the Pandya and the Chola eras. Sculpted from brass and poised upon a continuous plinth, such an ensemble would be a valuable addition to a pious Indian home.
Bitone composition: cobalt blue for the natural complexion of the deities and the middle tier of the plinth, gold for every other detail such as crown and attire and adornment of the deities and the lotus petals on the top and bottom tiers of the plinth.
From the mutually passionate stance of Shiva-Parvati to the handsome features of their twin faces and their fine-boned limbs as well as the rest of their physique, the resemblance to the traditional bronzes is undeniable and must have been difficult to achieve in this medium.
