The effigy of the woman holding a doll-like baby, from the Great Temple at Madura, is welcome as introducing a rare touch of human sentiment (Fig. 171), but is far inferior to the treatment of a similar subject at Purī (*ante*, Fig. 137). The blotchy appearance of the photograph is due to the whitewash or paint with which the statue has been smeared.
