This room contains Indian sculpture dating from the
1st century B.C. to the 19th century - ancient and mediaeval. The
works of plastic art in stone, bronze and terracotta present deities
and the personages of legends. Outstanding among the ancient pieces
is a statue of Buddha Sakyamuni standing. A striking example of mediaeval
art is the sculpture of Gomukha Yaksha and his beloved. Notable in
the display-case of South Indian bronzes of the 14th to 18th century
created by the lost-wax method is a statuette of Shiva Natarajah,
the Lord of the Dance. |
