Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Among India's most famous museum objects is this Chauri-Bearer statue from the Bihar Museum in Patna. She stands 5’2” tall on a pedestal of 1’7 ½” made of Chunar sandstone finished to an incredible mirror-like polish. Discovered in 1917 on the banks of a river by Ghulam Rasul, the sculpture dates to the 2nd century. The Yakshi embodies close-to-perfect standards of feminine beauty of ancient India. |
