Frieze with Dancer and Musicians
The sculpture depicts a frieze with multiple figures. A central female figure dances prominently in the middle. She wears a necklace and a short dhoti. Her right leg is bent, and her left leg is extended. Her right arm is bent near her head, and her left arm is bent across her body. To her left, a male figure plays a drum. He has a beard and wears a necklace and short dhoti. Other male and female figures are carved around the central dancer. Some play musical instruments. The figures wear necklaces, and most wear short dhotis. The sculpture is carved from a single block of stone and has a rough, unfinished texture. It appears to be a section of a larger carving. The color of the stone is light brown.
