About this work

This photograph depicts a carved wood sculpture of a goddess, likely from Java. The sculpture is adorned with intricate details and features a skirt with multiple layers. The goddess is shown holding an object in her right hand, while her left hand is raised above her head. The sculpture appears to be quite old, with visible signs of aging and wear. The photograph itself is also somewhat faded, suggesting that it may have been taken some time ago. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this photograph, which provides a glimpse into the craftsmanship and artistry of the time period in which it was created.
