A seated figure decorated entirely with fresh fruit, arranged as a festival display in a blue and red framed alcove. The figure, a statue or fruit-covered sculpture of a goddess, wears a crown of green grapes and small fruits, a red-and-gold sari, and a long necklace of grapes and berries. One hand is raised in blessing while the other rests on the lap. Behind it a painted tree trunk is hung with apples, pears, oranges, grapes and bananas. A pineapple, melons and limes sit at the base. The scene is a fruit decoration, not a living person.
