Seated female wooden figure with metal arm ring

Seated female wooden figure with metal arm ring

A female wooden figure sits here on a double lotus throne with individual flowers around it. She raised her side-to-side hands to her chest. On her right wrist, she wears a wide, gold-plated bangle – the last remnant of the metal jewellery with which the young adorant was probably once richly adorned.
