c8.61
The emphasis on the female character of the figure is stressed by a compactness of the breast-volume, which outdoes that of the Dīdargañj figure, and is wholly unrelated to the flat treatment of chest and abdomen of the Bhārhut figure. The hips, although they have no volume of their own, bulge out sidewards. Such conflicting elements show that compactness of the volume is still adhered to and even exaggerated, while another tendency gropes to translate it into terms of surface.
