Publisher: National Museum, New Delhi
Description: It is a damaged stone sculpture of the Yogini seated in lalitasana, holding the club in her left and a bilva fruit in her right hands respectively. Her vahana or vehicle is a swan that peaks on the fruit. She has a well-modelled body with full breasts, a slim waist and a rounded abdomen. The arching sweep of her buffalo-horns frames an elegantly tapered face. Her eyes are half-closed in contemplation. She is adorned with a necklace that suggests tribal affiliations. A girdle is placed low on her waist and she wears heavy anklets and bangles.
