The seventh illustration, Pl. XCVIII, comes from Madura and belongs to the time of Tirumala-Nāyaka (A. D. 17th century). In its details, it agrees closely with the Mahābalipuram sculpture; the workmanship exhibits peculiarities which were common to the age to which the sculpture belongs, namely, a conventional mode of standing, sharp-pointed nose, artificial disposition of the drapery etc. However, it is a strikingly fine piece of workmanship.
