Bust of Nāga
Tapa Kalān - Figure
This Nāga, lying on the right elbow, has a human body finished in a fishtail. The hand hangs from a rope around the torso, below the navel, holding a weapon. The head is missing. At the level of the hips, a pattern, perhaps a scale, can be seen.
Observation :This character was in an Atlas-like position.
