Wood statuette, 'Goddess Gangga'

Dewi Gangga receives her name from the Ganges River. Half-deity and half mortal, she makes a stunning presence as she rides her white swan. According to the tales of the Mahabharata, Dewi Gangga was the wife of Sentanu and the mother of Bisma. Made Wirata carves her image from noble suar wood with detailed finesse. Dewi Gangga is holding an egg to symbolize new life, while the swan symbolizes prudence.
