O soše
Goddess Uma, a solid-cast figure dating to the eleventh century, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The mother goddess turns towards her husband, Shiva; his companion image has become separated from hers. A confident expression and gesture balance the graceful feminine form. Uma embodies divine creative energy and the beauty of creation. The sculpture comes from Nepal, where Buddhist and Hindu traditions have both continued to thrive, unlike neighbouring Tibet, whose religious culture is predominantly Buddhist. Displayed in gallery 237.
Slovy muzea
Uma is a mother goddess, and she is depicted here as turning toward her consort, the Hindu god Shiva, a companion sculpture from which this image of Uma has been separated. The grace and femininity of this solid-cast figure are balanced by her confident gesture and expression. She embodies the creative energy of god and the beauty of his creation. In Nepal, Hinduism and Buddhism have continued to flourish simultaneously, in contrast to Tibet, which is predominantly Buddhist, and India, where Buddhism was no longer practiced after the 14th century.
