Dancer from Taraz

Description

A sculpture of a woman in motion, with her left arm bent at the elbow and pressed to her head. Bracelets are on the left wrist. The waist is wrapped in a wide, round, pleated skirt decorated with a lotus motif. The hair falls tightly over the shoulders. The lower part of the legs is broken. The sculpture was accidentally found at a depth of 1.5 cm during the construction of a stadium in the city of Zhambyl, within a set of round bronze plates.
