Devi Vaishnavi (one of the Saptamatrikas) or Vishnu Durgai 11th Century, Chola Era The broken nature
Devi Vaishnavi (one of the Saptamatrikas) or Vishnu Durgai 11th Century, Chola Era The broken nature of this exquisite sculpture makes it difficult to be certain which form of the Goddess the Vigraha represents. This is one of the several beautiful but broken sculptures lying in the under-resourced and ramshackle Government Museum at the site of the magnificent Chola Monument of Gangaikonda. (at Gangaikondapuram, Tamil Nadu, India) -- source link
