- Synopsis
- This is an statue featuring Rama is shown facing the viewer. It is late 19th century from Krishnanagar, Bengal. Rama is standing with his feet slightly apart on a dark brown rectangular plinth. His left arm is held straight down, elevated slightly from his body, with his fingers clenched. His right arm is bent at the elbow and has the open palm of his hand facing upwards. He has a tall golden crown on his head and is wearing dangling earrings. He is painted all over in bright green paint with white and black eyes, red lips, red palms of his hands, short black hair and moustache, golden toenails and golden fingernails. His body is adorned with three golden necklaces of different lengths, two armbands, two wristbands and two anklets. He is wearing knee-length, baggy trousers, called dhoti, made out of a gauze-like material wrapped around the body like a skirt with another piece wrapped around between the legs to make the trouser shape. A twisted fabric rope-like belt is wound around his waist several times. The trousers and belt are a faded cream colour. The tactile image has a thick line to outline Rama and the plinth. Solid texture shows the crown, rope belt, armbands, wristbands, anklets, necklaces, hair, facial features and earrings. Two rough textures show the baggy trousers - one to show the "skirt" and one to show the piece between the legs. Braille labels: crown, earring, necklaces, armband, wristband, dhoti, foot with anklet, open palm, and plinth.
