描述
the glossy stone of apple-green and yellow tones mottled with natural inclusions, well carved as a female deity standing on bare feet, her serene face framed with an elaborate coiffure covered by a long veil, wearing loose voluminous robes falling in thick folds open at the chest revealing a beaded necklace, her right hand in vitarka mutra, above her left hand holding a jewel, wood stand
Condition
In addition to some very minor nibbles to the edges, the lower tip of the robe on the front might have been polished down, possibly to remove a chip. The overall condition, however, is quite good. The actual colour is slightly more tinged with yellow than the catalogue illustration.
