The consort of Shiva holds an utpala (blue waterlily) in her raised right hand, the voluptuous body dressed in a long, ribbed dhoti secured with an elaborate belt with beaded festoons and multiple necklaces, including the sacred thread adorning her torso.

Gordon Reece is a collector of African and Indian tribal art and artefacts who founded the Gordon Reece Gallery in 1981, the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. Many of the objects he collected where donated to museums, including the V&A, the British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum, and when his gallery closed, a part of the inventory was auctioned at Bonhams London on 2 October 2007.
