This figure is quite interesting in the latter function. She is dressed in elaborate robes with a large headdress, which in conjunction with the original quality of the figure, suggests its owner was someone of at least moderate wealth. She stand with one hand clamped over her stomach and the other held to her mouth. The immediate reaction is that she is either coughing or experiencing nausea. It would therefore not be unreasonable to hypothesize that the owner died of sickness and this figure was included in her burial to capture the essence of her sickness so that she would not have to struggle with it in the afterlife.

AGE: Circa 600-800 A.D.

CONDITION: Very good with reattachment to the left side of the headdress. No other repairs or restorations with nice traces of remnant blue and white pigment. As is typical with Jaina figures, an integral whistle that still functions is constructed into the body.
