| Title |
Double-Faced Crossbar from a Railing: Female Figure (verso) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
The bust of a female figure in the center of the lotus medallion grasps a cluster of round flowers, probably kadamba, in her right hand. An embroidered coif crisscrosses over her head, and a lotus-shaped medallion ornaments her brow. Like a yakshi, or nature divinity, she embodies life-giving forces of nature. |
