A unique amalgamation of Khajuraho’s celestial nymphs with mirror, lady applying vermillion, and woman with the parrot, this brass sculpture is a beautiful piece of art. The artist has borrowed distinctive attributes from the above-mentioned sculptures of women, in order to create one single representation of the ideal woman and her mood.
The divinely beautiful lady stands on a sturdy platform, embellished with creative motifs. She is adorned in the manner of the Devanganas- ladies of the court of the Devas (gods)- dhoti decorated with distinctive ethnic patterns to enwrap her supple legs, sash, and breast garment to highlight the beauty of her torso and jewelry to compliment the exquisite aura of her youthful form. She has the perfect almond eyes and lotus petal-like lips to capture the heart of the mortals as well as the divine. Her body is bending softly, like a flowering vine around the branch of a tree. With her left hand, she is applying vermillion (sindoor) in the partition of her hairdo, while her right hand serves as a stand for the parrot- her companion and messenger. In Hindu and Indian literary and artistic traditions, parrots have served as the messengers and friends of gorgeous maidens, being the carrier of messages from their lovers. This brass statue has succeeded in recreating the traditional companionship shared between the lady and the parrot while giving the sculpture a parallel touch of the magnificence of Khajuraho.
