    Description

    I believe this to be a Krishnanagar figure due to the details such as the realistic facial features and what looks like hair (made of sheep’s wool or jute) attached to her head. This figure is 5" tall and is carrying a bundle of something in a white cloth.  Some dirt and red color near the feet on the white material.  She is missing some hair on the right side of the head.  No breaks that I see or chips.
    The bodies of the
    Krishnanagar figures
    are modeled in active poses, made by forming coils of clay over a metal armature and finished with a square slab base; after being sun dried the figures are painted and then dressed in fabric clothing.
