Probably representing Parvati, this figure of Devi has her right hand in kataka-mudra and the left in lola-hasta. Her hair is tied into a high bun (kesa-bandha) and there is a serrated siras-chakra behind her head. The eye-balls are clearly marked and the extended lobes of ears have holes. The waist is modelled with four unusually deep cross folds above the navel. The head ornaments consist of a tiara with fillet.
