Female Goddess

Wood

18th Century

South India(Possibly, Mohini, only female avatar of Vishnu)

Height:15″, 38 cm

Mohini is the only female avatar of the god Vishnu. She is portrayed as a femme fatale, an enchantress, who maddens lovers and sometimes leads them to their doom. This sculpture is voluptuous and sensuous and could very well be Mohini.
