Question about this piece

Created in the workshop of Shanta Shakya in Patan, Nepal. One of a kind.

Vasudhara on a lotus pedastal. The statue is worked in filigree, gold- and silver plated, set with colored stones. Vasudhara is known as a deity associated with prosperity, fertility, and abundance.

Vasudhara is depicted in lalit asana. The left leg is bent, while the right leg is extended forward; the right foot rests on a vase. She shows three faces, each bearing a central forehead mark. Her six arms hold characteristic attributes: an ear of grain, a jewel vase, a book, a mirror, and a mala. One further hand displays the gesture of granting, varada mudra. Vasudhara wears the crown and full ornaments of a bodhisattva.

The attributes refer to aspects of abundance, continuity, and insight. The ear of grain stands for nourishment and yield, the jewel vase for abundance, and the book for wisdom. Mirror and mala complement the depiction with contemplative and ordering aspects.

Robe and pedestal are worked with filigree. Fine wires are formed into spirals, filled with small arched elements and assembled into patterns. Colored stones set accents within the filigree and form floral motifs. 

The statue follows iconographic conventions of Vajrayana art in the Kathmandu Valley, in which posture, gesture, and ornament are brought together in a balanced composition.
