Labeled as “Madanika” or divine females, sculptures of Indian women with bows and arrows in valiant and athletic poses have been discovered on the walls of ancient Indian temples. This female archer statue, sculpted from the aesthetic black stone, draws from the visual tradition of women warriors.
On a stone slab, the archer balances her body majestically, placing the entire weight on her left leg that bends slightly, creating a gorgeous pose. With a dancer’s grace, the archer holds a bow, adjusting an arrow on it, with a meditative expression on her youthful face.
Polished seamlessly, the body of the archer is adorned with various traditional ornaments, adding femininity to her vigorous presence. Glowing from within with a lustrous polish, the archer is the perfect example of classic Indian iconography and art of sculpting, with measured incised lines and detailings blowing life into stone.
