and
This extremely fine early Indian molded terracotta plaque portrays a secular subject in an unusually robust style. As is usual, there are two holes in the upper part of the plaque that probably allowed it to be suspended by means of a cord.
The function of such plaques is unknown. It has been suggested that they either served as a votive purpose or were used as personal cult objects.
