10/11thC North East Indian Pala Bronze Deity Anika 3 inches tall, 2 7/8 inches wide, 1 7/8 inches deep. 4.5 inches tall on new custom base. At the foot of the cow is what looks like a pile of ritual offerings. Very early and rare Pala bronze from which few complete smaller bronzes survive 1,000 years of devotion-especially with intact faces. This one shows significant ritual wear, but is still quite beautiful, and shows the sensitive modeling of a very skillful sculptor.
