Description
Her surface carries the soft, sun-bleached quality of something that has watched over a household for generations — a muted, weathered yellow with gently softened edges, applied through a deliberately aged hand-painting technique rather than a single flat coat. She sits on a striking teal base bordered in a bold black-and-white chevron pattern, a graphic, modern contrast to her antiqued face.
Gauri, another name for Parvati, is worshipped as the goddess of marital happiness, devotion, and fertility. This bust is hand-carved from solid vagai wood, and our artisans build the distressed finish in careful layers, softening and blending the pigment by hand to mimic decades of gentle wear. It is a slower, more considered process than a single coat of paint, and it gives this piece genuine heirloom character straight out of the studio.
The muted palette and bold geometric base make this piece especially suited to eclectic or design-forward interiors. It also makes a distinctive gift for someone who collects antique or vintage-style décor rather than glossy, brand-new pieces.
Material: Solid Vagai Wood, hand-carved and hand-painted with a distressed finish.
Dimension: 4.5 inches (L) x 4.5 inches (B) x 13 inches (H), including stand.
