This exquisitely carved bust represents a divine or noble female figure. Originating from the Chola period— renowned for its pinnacle of South Indian sculptural artistry - the figure exemplifies the idealized feminine form celebrated in classical Indian aesthetics. The serene expression, arched eyebrows, and gently smiling lips convey a spiritual tranquillity, while the elaborate hair arrangement, with a coiled bun and side loops, denotes celestial status.​ Adorned with ornate earrings and multi-layered necklaces featuring pendants and detailed beading, the bust highlights the Chola emphasis on luxurious ornamentation.
