I will conclude this brief study of Indian portrait sculpture with another example of the modern Nepalese school, a copper-gilt statuette of a Tibetan nun or abbess, holding the usual sacerdotal drum, made of human skulls, in the right hand, and a beggar's bowl in the left. The original, like the last example, is in the Calcutta Art Gallery.
