Solid Bronze Statue of Indian Goddess Parvati

Description:
This is a finely cast solid bronze statue of the Hindu goddess Parvati, standing in a graceful posture with one hand raised in a mudra. The statue is detailed with traditional South Indian styling, including intricate jewelry, garments, and a tiered headdress. It stands on a double lotus pedestal, symbolic in Hindu art.

Dimensions and Weight:

  • Height: 82.5 cm (approximately 32.5 inches)
  • Weight: 25.6 kg (approximately 56.4 lbs)

Medium:
Solid bronze, likely cast using the lost wax (cire-perdue) method, common in traditional Indian bronze sculpture.

Condition:
Excellent – no visible damage, wear, or patina issues. The surface shows a consistent aged bronze tone, with detailed craftsmanship preserved.

Cultural and Artistic Value:
This sculpture is stylistically similar to Chola-period bronzes (9th–13th century South India), known for their balance, serenity, and symbolic posture. While this statue is not an antique from that era, it is a high-quality traditional reproduction that could be from the mid to late 20th century, crafted in Tamil Nadu or Pondicherry, both of which are known for skilled bronze casting.

Market Value Estimate (Retail/Private Sale):

  • Estimated Range: $800 – $1,500 USD
  • Auction/Dealer Value (Wholesale): $500 – $900 USD

The value could be higher depending on provenance, regional style specifics, and interest from collectors of Hindu or Southeast Asian religious art.

Recommendation:
For potential sale, consider listing with an Asian art specialist, or auction platforms like LiveAuctioneers, Catawiki, or 1stDibs. If you are looking for a more formal valuation for insurance or museum purposes, I recommend a professional appraisal through a certified Asian art appraiser such as one accredited by the Appraisers Association of America (AAA) or ISA.
