| Description / विवरण | This fragment of a plaque represents a female attendant figure holding an ornate mirror for the principal figure. The multiple stringed necklace of the latter is visible above the mirror. The headgear of the attendant figure shaped like a cock kukkuta is interesting and strings of beads hang it from. The surface of the headgear is decorated with arch and pellet motifs arranged at regular intervals. The attendant figure is further depicted wearing bracelets, armlets and a three-stringed necklace. As remarked earlier, the attendant figure holds a circular mirror mounted on a stand. That the principal figure is a female divinity is evident from this terracotta mould of a female divinity with ten auspicious hairpins accompanied by an attendant with a bird-shaped headdress and carrying a mirror in her hand. |
