Four-armed statuette of Devi (also called Uma) in copper alloy with green patina, Khmer art, Angkor Wat style, 12th century
Standing in samapada, wearing the attributes of her brother Vishnu, the two upper arms parallel to the body, in the right hand the discus or chakra, on the left the conch or shankha, the other two arms pointing downwards with in the right hand the lotus or padma and in the left the mace or gada. The intricate sculpture of his conical headdress imitates the shape of a lotus bulb. Her ears fall to her shoulders under the weight of her ear ornaments. She wears two bracelets high up on her arms, both decorated with rosettes in the center, and two heavy anklets just above her feet. Her torso is exposed, while a long, pleated sampot covers her lower body, supported by a belt adorned with leaf-shaped hanging pendants, while a central flap ending in a curved fishtail held by the belt adorns the front of the sampot.

Minor restoration on the side of the sampot. Glued to a wooden base.
