O soše
A mother guides her toddler by the wrist in Mother Goddess, a northwestern Indian sculpture of about 600 at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. She smiles at the child with patient affection. Groups of maternal deities stood in shrines close to Hindu temple entrances. This figure's restrained clothing and jewellery follow sixth-century sculptural conventions. The lifelike relationship between mother and child also suggests links to Gandhara's Greco-Roman traditions in what is now Pakistan. The sculpture belonged to a set of mother goddesses. On view in gallery 243 Indian and Southeast Asian.
Slovy muzea
Sets of mother goddesses were installed in shrines near the entrance to Hindu temples. From one of the most naturalistic and charming sets, this mother attentively grasps the wrist of her toddler to gently guide him, while smiling lovingly and patiently at him. The simplicity of garments and ornament is characteristic of sculpture of the sixth century, and the naturalistic qualities of this work from northwestern India suggest connections with the Greco-Roman styles of Gandhara, in present-day Pakistan.
