Along with the rosary, the lower right hand displays 'varada mudra', gesture of release. Elaborately bejeweled with a wider range of ornaments than usually seen in her contemporary images, especially the ornaments on her arms, the delicate string on the back of the palms.

Goddess has been modeled with an exceptionally soft & delicate figure, fingers, long, sharp & with pointed nails being most attractive & striking. Besides the lyre-playing devotee females and the donor couple, royal beings or a rich trader and his wife.
