Message Dear Chet I noticed that unalom on your female deity is a mirror image of unalom, did you flip the image? I think that the carver use flipped unalom as a symbol of parasol or a chattra, an umbrella for the king, an umbrella symbolizing dignity. And it is on top of thick rectangular line which symbolized the throne chair. The Chattra on top of throne is a symbol of Buddha. You may see this symbol on top of Atop a stupa, composed of a stone horizontally oriented disk on a vertical pole. ------------------ IMO, to identify your female deity who she really is, she has symbol of Buddha in her hair bun. There she is! "Prajnaparamita".... Your piece is a newly creation of Prajnaparamita. Have fun Anita
