Badami cave temples in Karnataka / India. This beautiful carved couple forms a pillar frieze and is positioned at one of the entrances to one of the cave temples. I like the tenderness in this sculpture and admire the craftsmanship. This work was done in the late 6th to 7th centuries!
They do seem to be a little impassive...no surprise after all this years.
Part of the cave temples in Badami.
Makes a mockery of some of the "old" buildings in Australia!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how much work things like this must have taken.
