THE COLLECTION IN CONTEXT
#Celestial Entertainer #India, Rajasthan or Uttar Pradesh; 11th century Entertainers, particularly beautiful women, are among the most common images on #Hindu #temples. They entertain the gods and designate the area within as a special palace or heaven, where music and dance are available. This figure twists dramatically in a dance pose and lifts one hand above her head to touch some fruit, which two small monkeys are eating.
