THE RĀMPURWĀ BULL-CAPITAL :—It consists of three component parts, viz. an animal sculpture at the top, a round decorated abacus in the middle and an inverted lotus below. The young bull with modelled muscles plastered on its body is a specimen of natural beauty of form in Indian animal sculpture. It stands gracefully poised on its pedestal. The artist has perfect mastery in rendering the vertical rhythm of the shaft and the three parts of the capital. [Fig. 46 c].
