Statuette of Female Diety with Female Attendant

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Statuette of Female Deity with Female Attendant depicts a tall, slender statue carved from light-colored stone or wood. The statuette features two main figures: a larger female deity and a smaller female attendant. The female deity stands centrally, wearing a long robe with folds carved into the fabric. Her face is round with a serene expression, and her eyes are closed. She has a large headdress on her head, adorned with beads or pearls along the edges. A smaller figure of the female attendant is positioned to the left of the deity, also dressed in a long robe. The base of the statuette features intricate carvings, including another smaller figure. The statuette stands on a dark surface against a gray background.
