This elegant representation of a mother goddess (matrika) and her divine child, its set mate M.82.42.1, and a now-dispersed group of more than a dozen additional mother goddesses, as well as images of Ganesha, Karttikeya, and possibly Shiva were reportedly discovered around 1957 by R. C. Agrawala (b. 1926) near the modern Tanesar (Thaneshvara) Mahadeva Temple near Udaipur, Rajasthan. The goddesses may have been from more than one set originally and some may represent the mythological mothers of Skanda (Skandamatas or Krittikas). The dispersed sculptures are now located in the National Museum, New Delhi; City Palace Museum, Udaipur (147); Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College (69.62); British Museum, London (1963,1112.1); Cleveland Museum of Art (1970.12); and formerly the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This goddess stands carrying her child resting against her right shoulder. She wears a floral tiara and her upper garment is worn as a head scarf. The child is trying to play with one of the flowers, causing the goddess to turn her head away. The back of the sculpture is unfinished.
