(G20) The figure gracefully portrayed, with the round face on a slight incline, an urna indented in the centre of the forehead, the harmonised features framed by rippled tresses of hair, the hair twisted into a high chignon, the slender figure off-centre with a slightly swayed hip, the recessed navel articulated, with the brahmanic cord slung diagonally across the torso and tied at the waist, the dhoti falling in an elegant double-skirt down to the ankles, standing on a lotus base.
Provenance: In a private Hong Kong collection prior to November 2007.
