Indian Sculpture c8.288

c8.288

Decorative and symbolical motifs here prevail over, and have tranformed, the figure sculpture. In the panel at the bottom a scroll-device, itself flattened in treatment, is worked in its upper half, as if laid around a hollow moulding. To its light and dark effect are also adjusted two Haṃsa birds in the centre, the heads of both being turned back and towards the right.
