Provenance: Italian private collection.

Doumu is a very popular deity of the Taoist pantheon. According to legend, she was the mother of the seven stars of Ursa Major. Her iconography derives from Marichi, a Buddhist deity.
A sculpture very similar to this is illustrated in R.H. Blumenfield, +, Berkeley-Toronto 2002, p. 53.
