Rare Indian Antique Carved Female Deity

A masterful piece, this carved wooden figure mimics the gravitas of ancient bronze or stone. Standing 24 inches tall, the sculpture depicts a female divinity— a Yakshi or temple attendant—captured in a dynamic dance pose. The surface is the real showstopper: the original polychrome paint has weathered over decades into a complex, crusty patina of greens, browns, and earth tones that creates the illusion of oxidized metal.  Mounted on a custom block stand, This is a textural masterpiece for a curated shelf. Because it is wood, it brings a softer, more organic energy to a room than cold metal, yet it still provides that "museum artifact" look. It is perfect for a mantelpiece in a home with other natural elements.
