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.

2/2
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.
