Description
14.0" X 4.7" X 3.3"
Female statues and images are one of the earliest discovered artifacts in any civilization. Every society has its way of treating and representing feminine beauty, but one of the commonest depictions of the female body is in a seminude state. From ancient Greeks who depicted Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty as a modest but seminude figurine to the Indian damsels on temple walls, with their ample bosoms, finely shaped waist, and wide hips, the female body has been a popular subject for artists and viewers alike for reasons ranging from voyeurism to spirituality. Here we have the torso of a lady in brass, more similar to its Western counterparts in terms of pose and physical attributes. While most Indian sculptures show heavy breasts and exaggerated hips hinting at reproductive prowess, this metal statue shows a naturalistically carved body. The lady dons an intricate hairstyle, with otherwise minimalistic ornamentation. Her upper body is virtually bare, while from the waist she has loosely tied a plain piece of cloth. The finely polished surface of this brass statue gives the image an enchanting metallic luster.
