Parvati Head

A very charming and delicately modelled terracotta head of goddess Parvati, is a distinguished work of Gupta art. Her hair is beautifully arranged in spiral braided locks, and tied into ornamented dhamilla, decorated with circular floral bands. Her Svastika marked rounded ear-ring is beautifully carved. The third eye on the forehead reveals her identity as Shaivite deity.
