Artistically, Mayūrbhañja lies between Bengal and Kaliṅga as understood here.155 It is the northernmost of the Orissān states, and borders on Bengal. A greater precision and almost metallic sharpness in details such as jewellery, and a more emotional physiognomical expression, bring it near to the former, whereas amplitude of movement and largeness of modelling establish a deeper-rooted share of Orissān tradition (Fig. 99).
