Standing Uma

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a statue of "Standing Uma" by an unknown artist. The statue is a depiction of a woman with a light brown or beige color. The figure has a slender build and is standing on a black base with two small metal rods visible on either side, just below her feet. Her hair is styled in a tall, ornate coiffure on top of her head. Her facial features are calm and serene. She is wearing a long skirt that falls to her ankles. The skirt has a decorative element at the front, and her upper body is bare. Her arms are outstretched to the sides, with the ends of her forearms broken off. The background of the image fades from dark gray at the top to light gray towards the bottom.
