Classical Indian period igneous statue "Yoga goddess holding a jar (Yogini with a jar)"

The statue is known as the "Yoga goddess holding a jar" and was made during the classical Indian period in the early 10th century AD. In the Indian subcontinent and many indigenous beliefs, the goddess is seen as the embodiment of life-giving energy. The goddess known here as yoga gracefully demonstrates complete control over the body. She holds a jar in her hand that may contain drugs, demonstrating her healing powers. Her now fractured left lower limb used to hold a skull cup for drinking. The sculpture was once enshrined in a circular open-air temple, along with at least 15 other goddesses, each believed to have unique powers, and is now in the collection of the Minneapolis Museum of Art.
