Description:
- Sculpture of Sarasvati, Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom playing the Tanpura, although her worship extends to the whole area of Hindu influence, including Myanmar or Burma, and Siam or Thailand, the area between the two countries from which this sculpture probably originates.
- The sculpture is made of bronze, hollow in one piece, with a black patina as a base for the gold leaf to be affixed.
- The sculpture has great movement, very careful proportions and a spectacular result, highlighting the harmony that its contemplation transmits.
- The casting of the sculpture is very good, and its execution is very careful, having generated a beautiful patina as a result of time, with a very attractive and high quality appearance.
- No distinctive markings, marks or contrasts have been found that could provide information about the sculpture.
- The fact that the object has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its author, the place where it was made and other details.

Conservation and Damage:
- The bronze is in perfect condition.
- It retains a spectacular period patina.
- The figure shows wear to the gold leaf layer, leaving the black base used for fixing the gold visible.
- It has small knocks and scratches.
