11" Devi Tara Wall-Hanging Mask Framed By Vines In Brass | Handmade | Made In India

It is sculpted from pure brass and has the rich, golden tones characteristic of the medium. The full, gorgeously featured face of an eternally youthful yogini; framed by long, shapely ears from the lobes of which dangle diamond karnakundalas. An irresistibly handsome brow and half-shut eyes; a sharp aquiline nose and a plump, compassionate mouth. The third golaka (organ) of vision has sprouted on Her temple, right at the rim of the crown on Her head.

Delicately curving vines frame the mask composition. The tendrils that form the crown on Her head curve laterally downwards into a luxuriant network. Upon the decolletage, right beneath the three lines that define Her graceful neck, is a necklace of vine and diamonds. Despite the riotous vines, the same have been sculpted with a great deal of precision and care. As such, the silhouette of this sculpture is pleasing to the eye and perfectly symmetrical.
