This brass Devi Parvati bust depicts the goddess in a pleasant mood, her head slightly tilted to her right and a tranquil smile swept across her face. Her long tresses are knotted in a high raising Jata-mukuta (mukuta or crown made of Jata or locks of hair) embellished with multiple jeweled bands that hold her curling hair in place, giving this brass Parvati bust an impressive appearance. The curls of Devi’s hairdo frame her glistening forehead which is decorated with a round Bindi and beautified by the arched eyebrows delineated by two parallel incised lines. Her admirable eyes are shaped like two lotus buds in between which is placed a sharp nose and below it is her delicate lips. Goddess Parvati’s face is round and impeccably polished and is highlighted by the large Kundala (round earrings) that adorn her ears. On her neck, Devi Parvati wears two tasteful bejeweled necklaces whose stylistically curling strings fall on her shoulders elegantly. A twisted Yajnopavita (sacred thread) falls over goddess Parvati’s left shoulder and disappears in the space between the hints of her elevated bosoms. Emanating a luxuriant blissfulness from her countenance, this brass Devi Parvati bust is a symbol of the great goddess's primordial potencies that allure Shiva and cause the beginning of Srishti (creation).
