Female Bust

Description

This female bust, preserved in good condition, provides a unique example of carving skill and craftsmanship. The facial expression is calm and serene, akin to Gupta period sculpture. Moreover, one can notice the fine detailing on her head- extending from her hair-do and headdress and the bindi on her forehead to her floral earrings as well. Incredible detail is also visible on her jewellery- with individual strands highlighted on her jewellery. Breaks on the arms and the waist indicate that the lower torso and arms have not survived over time.
