Marshall's Mohenjo-daro 1922-27

Statuette of red stone from Harappa

[Original 1931 text] "The treatment of the red stone torso could hardly be simpler or more direct. The pose is a frontal one with shoulders well back and abdomen slightly prominent; but the beauty of this little statuette is in the refined and wonderfully truthful modeling of the fleshy parts." (Marshall, Vol. I, p. 46)
