Vaishnavi is identified by her attributes. She is holding Padma, Gada, Chakra and Shankha. Clockwise, starting from her lower right hand.

Vaishnavi is wearing a Vanamala (flower garland) and is sitting in Padmasana. She is framed by a prabhavali (partly broken).

Vaishnavi is one of the Saptamatrikas (seven mothers), and she is also the Sakthi of Vishnu.

This Vigraha possibly dates back to the Pala period (10-12th century CE) and is from the Bengal/Bangladesh area. The dealer mentioned it is from the Mainamati area of Bangladesh. The vigraha is about 6 cm in height.

The peaked crown, long Gada and the patterns on the Chakra go with the regional attribution.  As is common with Pala bronzes, the back is not worked on.

There is a similar bronze in Bengiya Sahitya Parishad museum (PM-BSP-WB-33651).
