<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hunt2, post: 10329874, member: 85118&quot;]this is the explenation: Belonging to the extensive body of stone and metal sculptures created during the reign of the Cholas, the present lot depicts Sridevi, one of the two consorts of Lord Vishnu, who stands for material wealth and prosperity. Her body is adorned by flat necklaces, bracelets and arm bands that are carved in the typical Chola tradition. Her upper body has a breast band (unlike her sister Bhudevi whose chest is usually bare), while her lower body is wrapped in a <i>dhoti</i>, the folds of which cascade down to her ankles in parallel waves. It is particularly interesting to note how the forward bend in her left knee and the corresponding upward movement of her right hip imparts a relaxed posture to the goddess - a style that was prevalent within Chola sculptures of this period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note: to accurate date the statue, you need to see it in person. Because photo&#039;s can be misleading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
