Carved marble figure recorded in the register as depicting 'Miriam Bibi with child' (said to be 'mother of Buddha' by vendor). The figure carries a rosary in her right hand, and her clothing is draped over her head. She is seated with legs folded on a carved two-tiered pedestal, the costume elements covered with gilding, the eyes and eyebrows picked out in black pigment. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | figures (ritual & belief: representations) marble gilding pigment | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-53422 |
