c8.296

Nṛtta mūrti of Śiva on Apasmāra-puruṣa, with accompanying figures, damaged beyond recognition in the central square. Figures of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Devī and minor divinities amongst scroll work, in freely rhythmically set medallions, on the four sides. Juxtaposition of ornamental devices and figures, either of them treated with the full resources of modelling, dynamic in movement where it is not ponderous.
