century A.D. Government Museum, Chandigarh, India.
The sculpture probably of Parvati, is mutilated. The
head and the arms are lost. It has elaborate ornaments, a sacred thread
(yajnopavita). The lotus seat has multiple series of petals and floral patterns
and designs. The folds of the lower garment of the figure are shown with beads.
The frontal loop of the drapery has fan like disposition.

the stylistic type noticed in the metal sculptures of South India, particularly
of the Chola period as per the details mentioned on a placard put near the
statue by the Museum authorities.
