She is holding in her left hand a bronze vessel from which emerges a smoke spiral circling her shoulders and coming around in front. On this spiral perch seven supposedly symbolic sparrows. Size of this piece very unusual. B. Base — terraced, lotus—carved wooden base, with a green painted filigree—carved gallery. (When received was mostly unglued.) *Called “Goddess of Mercy”."
