Carved in the celebrated tradition of Thammampatti woodcraft, this sculpture carries a presence that is immediately felt in the space it inhabits. Its scale allows the figure to meet the viewer at eye level, creating the sensation of a living presence rather than a distant image, as though the lady has stepped forward to greet and receive.
The artist’s mastery is evident in the impeccable carving and nuanced use of colour. The body is rendered in a soft silver hue, lending the figure an otherworldly luminosity, while the richness of traditional colours brings warmth and life to the form.
Golden ornaments glow against the silvery surface, the green dhoti grounds the figure in classical convention, and the richly painted pedestal anchors her with ceremonial dignity.
Her stance is attentive and poised, hands joined in a gesture of reverence and welcome. There is an alertness in her posture, an aliveness that suggests readiness to receive all who approach. The deep blue bird perched gently on her shoulder is a classical motif in the iconography of feminine figures, symbolising beauty, grace, and companionship, while adding an animated note to the composition.
Nothing here overwhelms the eye. The harmony between silver tones, vibrant colours, and intricate detailing creates a measured, symmetrical beauty. The result is a sculpture that feels both refined and inviting, a graceful attendant whose presence elevates the atmosphere around her.
