EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture from the Chola dynasty in 10th century India. Titled "Queen Sembiyan Mahadevi as the Goddess Parvati" it portrays the queen herself embodying the divine form of Parvati, a revered Hindu goddess. The image captures Queen Sembiyan Mahadevi standing gracefully, her full-length figure adorned with intricate bronze metalwork. She is depicted in vibrant colors, highlighting her regal status and royal attire. With a lotus flower delicately held in one hand and making a symbolic hand gesture known as mudra with the other, she exudes grace and power. Surrounded by lush plants and flowers, this depiction of Queen Sembiyan Mahadevi as Parvati reflects both her earthly role as queen and her spiritual connection to divinity. The artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu and its deep-rooted religious traditions. Preserved within prestigious institutions such as the Arthur M Sackler Gallery and Freer Gallery of Art under the Smithsonian Institution's umbrella, this sculpture stands as an educational treasure for all who visit these esteemed galleries. Its presence offers visitors an opportunity to explore ancient Indian artistry while admiring Queen Sembiyan Mahadevi's significant contributions to history. As we admire this masterpiece captured through photography by an unknown artist, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize its profound historical value that continues to inspire generations today.
