106 - Lady with bilobed bun

Nok column-statue, left hand on her breast, right hand broken

Exceptional feminine column-statue in a hyperclassical position. The right forearm is broken, the left arm folded on her breast, the ornaments of her waist are delicately sculptured with a broad opulent belt used as loin- and buttockcloth. A broad necklace highlights a delicate and gracious neck, surrounded by an elegant head. The mannered hairstyle is bilobed, ornamented with braids and pendants hiding her ears. The face is purely Nok, with triangular eyes, delicate brows , a flat nose and a sensual mouth.

The lady is very attractive, possessing a timeless beauty that surpasses the years…
