Mayadevi is the mother of Siddartha Gautama, the Buddha.
Here Mayadevi is reaching up toward a Sal tree to steady herself as she gave birth to her child, who came forth from her right side. Her lithe body rising as if in a dance, anklets and ornaments embellishing her graceful form. There never was a more lyrical, felicitous image of birth, but more importantly, as the mother of the Buddha, Mayadevi is also seen as the generative source of the enlightenment process.
This beautiful and sensuous figure is handcast in brass in Nepal.
