Blue skin, flowing feathers, and a cluster of birds and butterflies set this figure apart from the winged angels and fairies that fill much of this category. Blue skin appears in many South Asian religious images, where it often marks a deity, and birds and butterflies in those traditions can suggest freedom, transformation, or the movement of the soul. Whether this work is a devotional image or a later decorative piece drawing on those sources, the streaming feathers and attendant creatures create the sense of motion and otherworldliness that such images were meant to convey.
