Mother Goddess of the Indus Valley, Mathura, North India, Shunga Culture, III-II century BC.
This statuette wears the large flower headdress in triangle with the large earrings of Mother Goddesses. Her arms are shaped like fins between two rows of gold necklaces that surmount her bare
breasts. The eyes, the mouth are added in pastilles.
A line indicating a belt passes to mid-feet and indicates a thin skirt of transparent linen which lets delicately appear its pubic triangle, well drawn.
This statuette has an air of great nobility and majesty, as befits the Mother Goddess.
