India, ca. 19th century. Indian brass and copper head of the Hindu goddess Paravati, Gauri. - Goddess of love, fertility and sacrifice holds great significance especially during the famous Gangaur festival soon after Holi, the festival of colors celebrated with great enthusiasm and affection for Gauri, the consort of Lord Shiva. While married women worship Gauri, the embodiment of perfection and marital love for the success of their married life, unmarried women worship the Goddess for being blessed with good husband. Upper portion of her head and ears are made of copper. Good old surface patina. 4.5" H (11.43 cm H).

Provenance: Collection of Tom Carson, NYS., active 1970’s - early 2000’s, then by descent to family.
