Shiva and Parvati Copper alloy Southern India

A miniature depiction of Shiva and Parvati seated on lotus thrones positioned on a common plinth. Shiva sits in the posture of relaxation (lalitasana) with one leg pendant. He is two-armed, forming vitarkamudra with his right hand, and resting his left on his knee.  Parvati also sits in vamar dhaparyankasana holding a lotus in her right hand and forming the gesture of granting favours (varadamudra) with her left.
