Miniature Shikhara, Pehowa

Description

This miniature shikhara is ostensibly an architectural fragment of an older temple structure. Made of buff sandstone, one can observe the intricate work involved in this- beyond the layering done in the shikhara itself, one can note smaller shikharas on the corners, and the overwhelming dominance of floral motifs. A lotus centric design is visible in the middle, along with embellishments in the decorative boundaries in the upper corners- which have received damage. Despite peripheral damage, the shikhara itself is more or less intact.
