The splayed out hips and legs, the feet placed at an angle of almost 180°, the broad and angular shoulders, and the large face with flattened features, result from this endeavour. The three-dimensional element is substituted by the linear also in details; folds are indicated by incised and not by raised lines, and the volume of drapery, etc., is flattened into a stiff surface, with geometrical vestiges of fold-patterns. - [Previous: c8.59](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.59) - [Next: c8.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.61) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.kramrisch-1933.c8.60) · Pramāṇa
