Parvati seated on a two-stepped platform with lotus throne. One leg is pending over the throne, the other foot is standing on the lotus seat. She is depicted in a minimalistic style, only wearing simple anklets, armlets and a short dhoti. She is supporting herself with her left hand, the other is raised with thumb touching the middle finger. Her hair is tightly done up in a conical headdress. Her face is slender and elegant. On the back we see her hip belt and the sacred thread, as well as another hair decoration and strands of hair falling down on her back.
