Cleveland Museum of Art

Base and Feet of Devata or Yakshi. The sculpture is made of stone and appears to be a fragment. The base has a decorative design featuring a row of pointed shapes hanging down and a row of leaf-like shapes along the bottom. Two feet are carved on top of the base with the toes pointing upwards. The feet have ankles and are adorned with jewelry. The background of the image is a gradient from dark to light gray. The sculpture sits on a gray surface with a shadow underneath. The overall color of the sculpture is brown with some lighter and darker areas. The top of the sculpture is broken off. The visible parts of the sculpture suggest a figure or creature known as a Devata or Yakshi.
