About this piece
Description
Compact in size but heavy in the hand, this 4.5-inch Annapurna Devi idol is cast in Panchaloha bronze and weighs 750 grams at 12 x 8 x 6 cm. It depicts Goddess Annapurneshwari, the Hindu goddess of food and nourishment, in the Chola style of South Indian bronze work, with a golden finish.
