Summary
| Descriptionटेराकोटा यक्षिणी.jpg |
English: "This terracotta goddess was found by chance in 1883, emerging from a river bank at the ancient port of Tamralipti. The first of its type to be discovered, and often described as the ‘Oxford plaque’, it remains the most famous of all early Indian terracottas dating to around 100 BC. Impressed in clay from a very finely detailed terracotta mould, it was given only limited further detailing with the use of tools. The goddess’s smiling face is framed beneath a large headdress with five symbolic weapons worn as hair-pins. Her jewellery includes huge disc earrings, a massive collar, bangles and a heavy girdle worn over a sheer robe." [1]
