Sarasvati

Sarasvati

 

The four-armed crowned figure with four arms stands in a militant posture upon a lotus base partially obscured by a peacock on the left hand side. The figure wears prominent circular earrings and a long garland, and stands against a wavy, striped back-slab within a flame-motif border which rises to a point at the apex.
