Plaque with the Goddess Durga Standing on a Lotus
The rectangular plaque features a raised relief sculpture of a female figure standing on a lotus. The figure wears a large headdress with circular decorations on either side, and her hair is styled in a manner that frames her face. She has a serene expression with a subtle smile. The figure's attire includes a necklace, earrings, a bracelet on one arm, and a decorative belt around her waist. Her hands are positioned in front of her, with the right hand possibly holding an object. She stands on a lotus flower with petals at the bottom of the plaque. The plaque has a beaded border around its edges. The overall appearance suggests an ancient artifact. The title of the piece is "Plaque with the Goddess Durga Standing on a Lotus" by an unknown artist.
