Female nature spirit, sculpture collection Rijksmuseum
Summary
A female nature spirit (yakshi) stands beneath a tree. On her left shoulder she is carrying a basket with toilet articles. The fabric of her clothing is diaphanous, so that it clearly reveals the luscious curves of her body. This sculpted pilaster formed part of the railing of a stupa, a Buddhist shrine.
