Product description
Antique Solid Saraswati – Early 20th Century (approx. 1920) This exceptional antique statue depicts Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom and music. While regular statues of this size are often hollow and light, this piece stands out with a solid casting weighing an impressive 1.8 kilograms at a height of 20.7 centimeters. This indicates a high-quality alloy and superior craftsmanship from the early 20th century.
Forensic Audit & Technical Dossier
At we base our valuation on raw physical specifications:
Material Density: 1.8 kg at 20.7 cm. This extreme weight confirms a solid construction without large voids, characteristic of early casting traditions from the Himalayan region.
Dating (approx. 1920): The degree of oxidation and the deep, organic wear of the fire gilding are consistent with an age of over a hundred years. The manual chasing in the bronze is of a level rarely achieved after 1950.
Surface Analysis: The natural patina in the deeper parts of the lotus base and nimbus shows the desired 'matte' reaction, free from modern chemical accelerators.
