Torso of a female figure bending to one side. The figure wears a necklace and elaborate beaded belt. Both arms are now void, but it is clear that one arm was raised above the figure's head while the other was pendant. One leg crosses in front of the other, though both are now void at mid-thigh. On the reverse, the figure's braided hair and elaborate jewelry are carved in low relief. The figure appeared toward the top of one of four stone gateways (toranas) leading to the Great Stupa at Sanchi. It formed a bracket between two horizontal elements and one of the torana posts. There were two large and at least two smaller female figures per gateway, but few survive, with only one or two still in situ.
