Her head is turned slightly to the left, her regal expression is framed by her hair that is styled in elegant loops, with a thick ponytail cascading down her back, secured by a delicate green clip adorned with yellow and pink flowers. A long pink silk scarf accentuates her flowing white gown that is intricately detailed with gold scrollwork and ornate designs.

In each hand, she bares a flower—her right arm bent in a poised gesture, while her left extends downward, with long sleeves billowing in the wind. Surrounding her are scattered colorful flowers.

The vase stands at 14 ½ inches tall, with a near cylindrical shape that gradually becomes more bulbous toward the top. Small blue handles adorn the sides. The mouth of the vase is framed by a thick blue lip. The vase is decorated with delicate flowers and leaves while a long scarf, adorned with flowers, hangs from a rope like a garland.

The sculpture and vase share a connection through their gold detailing and floral motifs. The flowing silk scarves—one wrapping around the goddess, the other hanging from the vase—add a similar sense of grace and fluidity to both works. Together, they create a harmonious pairing, with each piece complementing the other. See less
