Besnagar. Yakshiṇī standing. Free round figure. The earthy heaviness of form of early Indian art persists ; but the modelling, the linear rhythm, and the feeling for human form are far in advance of Barhut. The figure also reveals a clearer understanding of the human form. C. 50 B. C. Indian Museum. Photo : A. S.
